Picasso, (1910) Portrait of Ambroise Vollard
There is not a single aspect of his face that is "there" in any conventional pictorial sense. The more you look for a picture, the more insidiously Picasso demonstrates that life is not made of pictures but of unstable relationships between artist and model, viewer and painting, self and world. And yet this is a portrait of an individual whose presence fills the painting. Vollard is more real than his surroundings, which have disintegrated into a black and grey crystalline shroud.

This painting represents an objective we are exploring in our production. The problems these families face are not necessarily out in the open and visible to each other which creates instability amongst them. Not only does it influence our direction and title, but also the design of the stage as it will be fractured and skewed to physically represent the mentality of these characters.
