Could you crack a million dollar case?

In Mexico City, a new Frida Kahlo painting has been discovered! Or has it?

Agents Kahlo and Dali of the Company of International Artists, a top secret art detective agency, are summoned by the buyer to prove exactly who painted the portrait. And there’s room in their crew for you!

However, once back in her home town of Mexico City, glimpses of Agent Kahlo's past, and her previous work partner, the mysterious Agent Modotti, start to bubble to the surface, leaving Agent Dali wondering who he can trust.

Bring your sharpest wits and a sense of adventure. Will you crack the agency’s toughest case yet?

Featuring a broad streak of quirky comedy, playful film noir references and inspired by the art of Frida Kahlo, The Mexico Mission! is a highly interactive playable show for families. 

This show is best suited to agents aged 7+.

The Mexico Mission! is be the third playable family show set in the world of the Company of International Artists, a top-secret detective agency specialising in art investigations.

This show will first tour Dorset community spaces including libraries in April 2025, supported by Dorset Council. The show features the same core characters of Agents Kahlo and Dali, who also appear in our other playable Company of International Artists shows The Munch Mission! and The Midnight Mission!

The kernel of the show was sparked by us discovering that, to date, there have been no known female art forgers (which is interesting) and that female artists are still less forged than male artists, presumably because generally speaking art by women still tends to sell for lower prices (which is enraging).
