As Picasso’s mural depicted his reaction to the devastation incurred after the bombing of the village of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War, the Studio’s mural will contain symbols of war and its effects; though it will also depict the hope for peace in the twenty-first century. The mural is part of the Studio’s Picasso Becomes You project and will be unveiled during the performance at the McMorran Place Theater on April 21st. {categories backspace="1"} 2012-01-26T21:37:35-05:00 http://studio1219.com/news/more/studio_1219_announces_picasso_becomes_you_mcmorran_dates_and_auditions/ http://studio1219.com/news/more/studio_1219_announces_picasso_becomes_you_mcmorran_dates_and_auditions/#When:20:20:44Z Studio 1219 will hold auditions for “Picasso Becomes You” at the Studio 7pm to 10pm Tuesday and Thursday, February 7 and 9, and 10am to 1pm Saturday, February 11.
