This project was first workshopped at the San Diego Repertory theatre in 2010.
during the workshop process, as we anticipated permission from the picasso family estate to use images of his artwork, we inserted these images as placeholders for projection design. 
this was a three channel video system  with titles and images projected onto the architecture of the set as well as masked to individual blank canvases. to make the paintings come alive.

The show had its premiiere at the Alley theatre in early 2011. late into the process we learned we would be unable to use picasso's images, so herbert siguenza painted his own images for the show.. 
the space was a very different configuration from the SD Rep space, so our designs adapted from the Rep's thrust to in the round. video projections were completely re-imagined and created a surround using a 4 channel system.

In Los Angeles, the show moved into Theater 3 at LATC. This space is very steep, the architecture based on the Greek amphitheater, and once again...the video design had to be re-imagined and re-configured to move from the surround of a four channel system to a two channel front projection system in a proscenium stage layout.  We also eliminated licensed copyrighted imagery to bring the show into budget, inserting original Herbert Siguenza artwork and public domain footage.

At the Center Repertory Theater in walnut creek, the show continued as a two channel system in a proscenium configuration with some minor changes and additions.
