MUSICAL WORK 'TRES VIDAS' TO BE AT ST. LAWRENCE

CANTON – A new chamber music-theatre piece, based on the lives of three 
notable Latin American women, will be performed at St. Lawrence University 
on Thursday, October 30, at 8 p.m. in Gulick Theatre. The event, part of the 
University's celebration of Latina/o and Hispanic Heritage, is open to the 
public, free of charge. 
	"Tres Vidas (Three Lives)" is based on the lives of renowned Mexican 
artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954), Argentinean poet Alfonsina Storni (1892-1938) 
and Salvadoran activist Rufina Amaya (1943- ), and is performed by a chamber 
music trio and an actress/singer. The score includes arrangements of popular 
and folk music from Latin America, pieces by tango master Astor Piazzola and 
new music by Carlos Sanchez-Gutierrez and Osvaldo Golijov, Jorge Liderman and
 Michael DeMurga.
	The performance includes both Spanish and English, and includes images 
of Kahlo's dramatic visual works, excerpts from Storni's passionate poetry and 
passages from Amaya's heartfelt testimony about a massacre in her village, El 
Mozote; she is the only known survivor of the 1981 event. "Tres Vidas" is 
written by Marjorie Agosin and directed by Matthew Wright.
