New Village Arts (NVA), North County’s cultural hub, is bringing back to its stage one of the most popular productions of 2019, Herbert Siguenza’s tour-de-force performance of A WEEKEND WITH PABLO PICASSO. Written and performed by Siguenza, this one man show has traveled around the world to sold out performances.
It’s 1957 and Picasso is taking a bath in his mansion/studio in the South of France when he gets a call from his art dealer in Paris with a lucrative commission to paint six canvases and three vases and wants them completed by the end of the weekend! After agreeing reluctantly to the hurried request he also realizes the audience is there to make sure he finishes the job. Picasso paints, eats, drinks and shares his philosophy about art, war, love and the creative process with passion and insight. The audience learns intimate details of the master’s life and sees a creative genius at work at the heights of his powers.
Preview performances run August 4 through August 11. Opening night is August 12 with performances scheduled through September 3
