Members of the Ballet Preljocaj will be performing on Friday evening at the Musée Granet during their Nocturne Dansée. A good opportunity to check out the new Picasso-Picabia exhibition whilst enjoying some contemporary dance. The museum will be open until 22:00, and the dancing will take place at 20 and 21:00hrs, each performance taking 35 minutes.
Tomorrow is also launch day for yet another Picasso event, this time the photography of André Villers, a young admirer of the painter who encouraged him by posing for him. Coup de Soleil is at the Pavillon Vendome, open daily exc Tuesdays. 10-12:30, and 13:30-18:00hrs. 3.50€
It’s all part of the two-year Picasso-Mediterrannée programme, details: https://aixcentric.com/2017/11/10/picasso-mediterranee-programme/
And finally, a Picasso-free event (I think)…the annual Flaneries d’Art. Centre ville gardens normally closed to the public throw open their gates to writers, painters, potters, jewellers etc and welcome us all in to browse. This year there are only 3 gardens involved but they have an interesting programme of readings and talks organised. Saturday 14-20:00, Sunday 11-19:00 hrs. Details here: flaneries-2018-flyer
The sun should be out so enjoy a warm weekend, with or without Picasso!
