Guernica at the Edmonton Fringe

"Every act of creation is first an act of destruction."
- Pablo Picasso

On April 26, 1937, a small Spanish town was attacked by aerial bombers. Nearly everything was destroyed, but from the rubble came creation: a painting, one that would preserve the town’s people beyond any human lifespan. This is the story of that creation – the story of Picasso’s Guernica.

Show History: Guernica was first seen at a staged reading in Nextfest 2010 as part of the Enbridge High School Reading Series. In June 2011, Guernica was presented as a mainstage production at Nextfest. In August, the show will be playing at the Edmonton International Fringe Festival.

All shows at Phabrik Art and Design Centre (formerly Planet Ze), 10055 - 80 Avenue.
