What happens when Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein walk into a bar? Find out when you see Steve Martin's wacky intellectual comedy, coming to The Complex Performing Arts Centre!

 

 

Picasso at the Lapin Agileis a play written by Steve Martin in 1993. It features the characters of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, who meet at a bar called the Lapin Agile (Nimble Rabbit) in Montmartre, Paris. It is set on October 8, 1904, and both men are on the verge of an amazing idea (Einstein will publish his special theory of relativity in 1905 and Picasso will paint Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907) when they find themselves at the Lapin Agile, where they have a lengthy debate about the value of genius and talent while interacting with a host of other characters.
