Cate Blanchett Reads a Mystical Letter Written by Spanish Surrealist Remedios Varo to a Stranger

The great Cate Blanchett used her incredible acting skills to personify the voice of Spanish surrealist Remedios Varo in reading a delightfully mystical letter that Varo had written to a stranger, whom she randomly picked out of a phone book. Varo's letter, which was as surreal as her paintings, talked about the different paths of mystical reincarnation she took to put herself in such a place to be writing to this stranger on that day.

It wasn't just in her paintings that Spanish surrealist Remedios Varo explored the mystical-as this playful letter to a stranger shows.

This reading took place at a Letters Live fundraising event at KOKO Camden to benefit the KOKO Foundation.

Cate Blanchett joined us to read it a special fundraising edition of Letters Live at KOKO Camden last year, in support of The KOKO Foundation, a registered charity dedicated to changing lives and creating transformative opportunities.
