In "Picasso at the Lapin Agile," a bar in Montmartre, Paris, in October 1904, is the setting for an imaginary meeting between 25-year-old Albert Einstein and 23-year-old Pablo Picasso. It is a year before Einstein publishes his groundbreaking "The Special Theory of Relativity," and three years before Picasso paints his defining "Les Demoiselles d’Avignon." The two young men on the verge of greatness, along with a host of eccentric characters, converge and collide in Steve Martin’s light-hearted comedy about imagination and the creative process.
Featuring (in alphabetical order): Apollo Abraham, David Bianco, Jennifer Blair-Bianco, Jeremy Domingo, Kenneth Keng, Lesley Leveriza, Leo Rialp, Rob Rownd, Jamie Wilson, with Rigil Kent Borromeo and Jean Judith Javier, and an exhibit by Anthony Piggott.
The show is directed by Jeremy Domingo, with visual design by Rob Rownd.
