Adoration of Dora: Media Preview

Synopsis of the play

Adoration of Dora explores the nature of art and creativity through the story of surrealist photographer and one of Picasso’s many lovers, Dora Maar.

Already an accomplished photographer when she and Picasso met in 1936, Maar is perhaps best known for being Picasso’s Weeping Woman, the subject of numerous portraits painted during and after the Spanish Civil War. Maar also photographed Picasso’s progress as he painted his anti-war masterpiece, Guernica.

Adoration of Dora explores the conflict that Maar felt as both artist and muse to one of the most revered creative geniuses of the 20^th century.
