We all know Steve Martin from “Saturday Night Live” and his roles in such films as “The Man With Two Brains” and “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.” Now he has taken a turn as playwright. Picasso at the Lapin Agile” takes place in a Paris bar in 1904 with an imaginary meeting between Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein, two minds that changed the twentieth century.
In "Picasso at the Lapin Agile," he brings together two of the century's most influential figures, namely Picasso and Einstein. If it sounds a little wild and crazy, that's because it is, as Martin sprinkles a little philosophy between the jokes that fly fast and furious.
Each is on the verge of his break-through work. (One year later, Einstein's "The Special Theory of Relativity" will be published, and three years later Picasso will set the course for cubism and modern art with his painting "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon.") On this night however, they are bursting with youthful zeal and egotism as they debate and challenge each other.
Each is sure he holds the key to the new century's greatest idea, but instead of highbrow lecturing, it plays out like two gunslingers in a Wild West saloon.
Martin's carefully chosen time is 1904, his place the Paris bar Le Lapin Agile. Translated "the nimble rabbit", it's a bar that Picasso actually frequented and even painted in an early work.
Winner of the 1996 New York Outer Critics’ Circle Awards for “Best Play”
and “Best Playwright,” The play combines two of Martin's passions. He's an art collector and a science buff. When asked about his inspiration for the play, he explained, "When I started out I hung around a nightclub in L.A.called the Troubadour. Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles started there. And I went to the Metropolitan and there's Picasso's painting of the Lapin Agile.
I thought of that picture's journey from that little bar to the Met 40 million dollars later. When I started writing, I didn't know Einstein was going to be in it. He just came. I've always been a science fan. Also, I think the creative process in art and science is very similar. You have to forget all the rules and start shaking things around.
Picasso at the Lapin Agile according to Steve Martin suggests “that art and science, at their most creative levels, operate in the same way”. This show will have audiences laughing and thinking differently about science and art..
