# Event Details - **Event Name**: Picasso at the Lapin Agile - Bennington Community Theater 2026 Season (play 3/4) - **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Fri, 11 Sep, 2026 at 08:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Picasso at the Lapin Agile A witty comedy which blends humor with profound questions This September, Bennington Theater presents Picasso at the Lapin Agile, a comedic play by Steve Martin that imagines a meeting between a young Pablo Picasso and Albert Einstein in a Parisian bar in 1904. Picasso at the Lapin Agile explores themes of art, science, and genius through witty dialogue and a surreal encounter with Elvis Presley. The play, which blends slapstick humor with profound questions, was a major success, premiering at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre before moving to Los Angeles and New York. Directed by John Lugar Produced by David Dubov-Flinn Written by Steve Martin About Picasso at the Lapin Agile The play features the characters of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, who meet at a bar called the Lapin Agile (French: "Nimble Rabbit") in Montmartre, Paris. It is set on October 8, 1904, and both men are on the verge of disclosing amazing ideas (Einstein will publish his special theory of relativity in 1905 and Picasso will paint Les Demoiselles d'Avignon in 1907). At the Lapin Agile, they have a lengthy debate about the value of genius and talent, while interacting with a host of other characters. Martin has written: "Focusing on Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity and Picasso’s master painting, Les Demoiselles d'Avignon, the play attempts to explain, in a light-hearted way, the similarity of the creative process involved in great leaps of imagination in art and science".
