TERRY D’ALFONSO’S UNCOMPROMISING PORTRAIT OF PABLO PICASSO
BRILLIANTLY PORTRAYED BY PETER TATE

Undisputed genius, visionary and artist… a calling with which no lover could compete…
yet without whose love he could not paint. Picasso lived and loved like no other.
His obsession reflected in his art but equally destroyed his subjects and his family…

Should he be condemned or forgiven? How do we judge our great artists?

Adapted for solo performance and directed by Olivier Award winner Guy Masterson, Pablo Picasso is brilliantly incarnated by Peter Tate, multi-award winner and Founder/ Artistic Director of The Playground Theatre, London, in an explosive, deeply passionate voyage of self-revelation leaving the audience as his jury.

A visceral, uncompromising portrait of Pablo Picasso 50 years after his death…Undisputed genius, visionary artist, yet Picasso’s obsession often destroyed those he professed to love….

Actors on screen: Milena Vukotic (Olga); Margot Sikabonyi (Marie-Terese); Claudia Godi (Geneviev Laporte); Sandra Collodel (Dora Maar).

Duration: 60 mins with a 30min Q&A after the show | Recommended for 16+ years

Cinquant’anni dalla sua morte, dopo di lui e come lui nessuno: geniale, carismatico e ribelle, visionario, capace di rompere paradigmi culturali, pittorici e interpretativi degli oggetti reali. Pablo Picasso, pseudonimo di Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Maria de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso, ha rappresentato un modello trasgressivo, “mostruoso” per gli artisti contemporanei e per coloro le generazioni successive, lanciando nuovi generi pittorici, il cubismo primo fra tutto. Personaggio “dannato”, che si identifica con i suoi protagonisti: il Minotauro vecchio e cieco, fra le incarnazioni più esemplari.

Con tutta la forma bruta la J. Productions porta in scena lo spettacolo, in lingua inglese “Picasso – Le Mostre sacré”, martedì, 30 Aprile alle 20:00 al Filodrammatici di Milano: un ritratto viscerale e senza compromessi del pittore, perseguitato dalle sue ossessioni, spesso distruttive di tutto ciò e di coloro che professava di amare.

Magistralmente interpretato da Peter Tate, lo spettacolo traccia un ritratto inedito di Picasso, che in maniera (pre)potente e intelligente, difende se stesso e la sua reputazione. Al pubblico, eletto a giudice, l’ardua sentenza: la sua vita, la sua arte sono da condannare o perdonare? Lo spettacolo è co-adattato da Peter Tate e Guy Masterson dall’opera originale di Terry d’Alfonso.
