About
One fine spring morning in 1957, an elongated sausage dog named Lump arrived at the villa of the great 20th Century artist Pablo Picasso. Lump looked into the deep, brown eyes of the artist and decided he was home.
Picasso and His Dog tells the tale of a man and his dog, deep love, and the art their friendship inspired.
This gorgeous new work by Lemony S Puppet Theatre is an inventive mix of live performance, puppetry and art-making on-stage.
It is a story of how the loving animals in our lives inspire us to be excellent humans (and artists).
Created for kids aged 4+ and their families.
