SUMMARY:Picasso at the Lapin Agile
DESCRIPTION:A witty comedy which blends humor with profound questions\nThis
  September\, Bennington Theater presents Picasso at the Lapin Agile\, a co
 medic play by Steve Martin that imagines a meeting between a young Pablo P
 icasso and Albert Einstein in a Parisian bar in 1904. \n\nPicasso at the L
 apin Agile explores themes of art\, science\, and genius through witty dia
 logue and a surreal encounter with Elvis Presley. The play\, which blends 
 slapstick humor with profound questions\, was a major success\, premiering
  at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre before moving to Los Angeles and New Yor
 k. \n\nDirected and Produced by John Lugar\n\nWritten by Steve Martin\n\nA
 bout Picasso at the Lapin Agile\n\nThe play features the characters of Alb
 ert Einstein and Pablo Picasso\, who meet at a bar called the Lapin Agile 
 (French: "Nimble Rabbit") in Montmartre\, Paris. \nIt is set on October 8\
 , 1904\, and both men are on the verge of disclosing amazing ideas (Einste
 in will publish his special theory of relativity in 1905 and Picasso will 
 paint Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907). \nAt the Lapin Agile\, they have
  a lengthy debate about the value of genius and talent\, while interacting
  with a host of other characters.  \nMartin has written: "Focusing on Eins
 tein’s Special Theory of Relativity and Picasso’s master painting\, Le
 s Demoiselles d'Avignon\, the play attempts to explain\, in a light-hearte
 d way\, the similarity of the creative process involved in great leaps of 
 imagination in art and science".\n\nShowtimes:\n🔹 Friday\, September 4
