In Picasso Dance, eight contemporary choreographers with diverse sensibilities and nationalities take on the artistic and human heritage of Pablo Picasso. A way for each person to express a very personal reflection on their relationship with the Andalusian painter and his works.
How to grasp Picasso today? How to approach your work, dialogue with the icon, confront it?
A project bringing together live performance, plastic art and creative film which is part of the Picasso Celebration 1973-2023, an international event commemorating the fifty years of Picasso’s death.
