Baring Fruit
by Heidi Robbins and Elizabeth Rainer; directed by Heidi
Robbins
Baring Fruit explores the life of Paula Modersohn-Becker, a
young modern painter who lived at the turn of the century.
Though devoted to her family, she also wished to pursue art
with great passion and commitment. This struggle was at the
center of her life. Though she died at the age of 31, she
left behind many journal entries, letters and almost 700
paintings. Paula Modersohn-Becker was a dear friend of the
poet Rainer Maria Rilke and was the subject of his famous
poem, "Requiem for a Friend."
Subsequently produced at Nomad Theatre in Boulder,
Colorado. See review here.
