Un Picasso Friday, March 30 Metrópolis Teatro (with José Sacristán and Ana Labordeta) Teatro Liceo 9:00 p.m.

Jeffery Hatcher´s /Un Picasso/, adapted by Nacho Artime. Performers:
José Sacristán and Ana Labordeta. It is well known that one day, during
the infamous Nazi occupation of Paris, Picasso was ¨arrested¨ by a group
of German soldiers upon leaving the restaurant ¨Las Catalans,¨ where he
often ate and hung out with his friends.

The painter is taken to a
basement to be interrogated by an officer of the Ministry of Culture to
identify and certify that three of his paintings are authentic. The
year is 1941 and the genius of Picasso, who would turn sixty the
following day, is not only universally known at this time but also
highly immitated. Picasso is surprised to find that the German officer,
who is an art critic and a fan of his work and knows everything about
him, doesn´t actually want to know the authenticity of the three
¨Picazos¨ but rather wants to have them burned in a massive bonfire with
all of the other ¨degenerate¨ art hated by the landscape painter, Adolf
Hitler. The author uses this as his plot to set up an exciting cat and
mouse chase in which Picasso fights to save both himself and his work.
Truth and lies, art and politics, culture and consumption are all
analized from two different points of view. There is humor, poetry,
theatrics, and a magnificent means for the actors, representing very
different ideals, to shine brightly. We hope to bring spectators closer
to the world of Picasso, his childhood and his fame.

Julieta Venegas in Concert

3rd anniversary of the designation of Salamanca as venue for the 15th Latinamerican Summit of Heads of State and Government

Julieta Venegas: ‘Limón y Sal’

Due to the commemoration of the 15th Latin American Summit of Heads of State and Government some activities are going to be held, among them stands out the concert of the Mexican multi-Latin Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas ( Thursday 8th of March in Multiusos Sánchez Paraíso at 21:30 pm). She will perform songs from her last album ‘Limón y Sal’ and some old hits like ‘Lento’ o ‘Andar conmigo’


Although the artist’s musical career consits of only four albums, she has stood out notably in the Latin musical environment, especially in Spain in the wake of her last album ‘Si’ and her collaboration together with Paulina Rubio and Coti in the song ‘Nada de esto fue un error’.

Tickets can be bought in the box office of the Theatre Liceo or at Long Play ( Calle Rúa Mayor); the price is 12 euros in advance or 15 euros at the door. This will be the only concert of Julieta Venegas planned in Castille and León.
