Theatre: "Picasso's Artful Occupation"
11 March 2014 to 30
March 2014
The story in Picasso's
Artful Occupation occurs in 1940, when the German army
gains control of France. All valuables in Paris banks are to be inventoried,
and Spanish painter Picasso hurries to have his works listed. How does one of
the world's most famous artist cope with a predatory German army, greedy for
booty?
The
play, written by Ian Buckley, will make spectators think about what's the role
of art in a context of war and an occupied territory.
