The Jewish Contribution to the arts: Hedi Krasa

Shortly after arriving she worked in an advertising agency, where she felt obliged to create certain products, when what she was looking for was to create for her own interests and concerns, so she soon sought new horizons.

Looking for new creative ways, Hedi applied to what would be the first work of the Chilean National Ballet "Coppelia" in charge of the costume design. She continued working with the German choreographer Ernst Uthoff for 15 years, where on certain occasions she participated as a dancer.

Given the high quality of Hedi's work in the design of ballet costumes, in 1960 he exhibited in a solo exhibition in the "Sala Libertad" the sketches of the costumes of different works that had been presented.

They traveled for 15 years without settling permanently in any place. In 1985 they settled in Chile again and she died in 1989 of cancer.

A self-taught artist with a passion for the arts, low profile, very prolific in her diverse production, who had an impact on the development of the arts in our country. Without ostentation we see in Hedi a desire to find and create beauty in all aspects of life.
