     Dolores del Río: Beauty, Celebrity, and Power in Two Cultures

     Wednesday 23 May 2012, 17:00, H3.03

     All Welcome

     

    Dolores del Río’s dazzling beauty in her late teens and early 20s led to her discovery and enormous success in U.S. films, beginning in 1925 and lasting into the early 1940s. She became an instant celebrity, and careful handling of publicity positioned her as white rather than indigenous. Her popularity and the power that resulted from it helped legitimate ideas of Mexicans as acceptable romantic partners for Anglo stars, as she regularly appeared in such roles, despite the fact that the era was replete with concerns about miscegenation between whites and indigenous and African-America peoples, whatever their ethnicity. Indeed, she was billed as the female Valentino, the dark female romantic counterpart to that early 1920s male film phenomenon. On her return to Mexico in the early 1940s, she found that her renown in the United States led to great pride in her achievements among Mexicans and gave her a position of power to participate in, to influence artistically, and to gather around her the best talents for the Mexican Golden Age of film. Different notions of beauty and celebrity and power in Mexico, as opposed to the United States, made it possible for her to establish herself as one of Mexican cinema's greatest stars.

    Notes:

    Coming soon - June 12th and June 13th 2012 - in conjunction with Warwick Arts Centre, Babakas and China Plate - Our Fathers Theatre Production with panel discussions; 'Father Figures Through Time' & 'Thoroughly Modern Dads'

    Our Fathers

    Commissioned by China Plate, mac ,Warwick Arts Centre and Warwick Centre for The History of Medicine.

    Supported by the Wellcome Trust.

    What would you do if you were asked to be a father in an email? If your Dad thought it was dance school that turned you gay? If you'd never had the chance to see the man behind the mask? A playful and moving search through diaries, bibles, memories and dreams, an imaginative leap across oceans and decades led by three performers whose far-away fathers might just make an appearance.

    Following the development of this beautiful piece at First Bite and Bite Size Festivals, we’re joining forces with The Centre for the History of Medicine to bring you a first chance to see the full length version of Our Fathers and the last chance to help us shape it as it is being made.

    Following each performance the CHM will host a panel discussion looking at fatherhood in the past and present.

    Panel 1 - 12th June: Father Figures Through Time

    How perceptions of fatherhood have changed through the 19th and 20th centuries, the persistence of stereotypes and the transmission of ideas through family generations.

    Panel 2 -13th June: Thoroughly Modern Dads?

    How fathers interact with their children today, through pregnancy, childbirth and infancy; the rise of stay-at-home dads, gay parenting; and new birth technologies.
