2. CHILDREN AT THE PICASSO.

A BOXFUL OF SURPRISES

Museo Picasso Málaga presents its fourth season of Children at the Picasso. A Boxful of Surprises. The Autumn 2011 series focuses on a special theme: paper, and the numerous possibilities it can provide for theatre.

Paper can be used as the support for the written word, drawing or engraving";" but it can also be used to build things, and it can be modelled, cut and used in many different ways. All of these options can be put to use on stage.

The programme comprises four international award-winning shows by companies from Slovenia, Italy and Spain who all use paper as their main theatrical element. For all these shows, this will be their premiere in Malaga.

This series of shows brings together some of the most representative performing art projects for children aged 2 to 12 and for all the family.

3. 5th CYCLE OF CHAMBER MUSIC

Once again this year the fifth Cycle of Chamber Music, organized by the Orquesta Filarmónica de Málaga, has drawn up an ambitious programme comprising of some of the choicest pieces from the Western chamber music repertoire, ranging from Bach to Messiaen. The format has expanded this year from five to six concerts and, while the cycle still inevitably contains a number of still-potent highlights, such as Haydn (with four works in the overall programme), there are also others that are no less of a draw, or less significant, such as, for instance, Martinu, one of the most prolific 20th-century composers of chamber music, or the 70th anniversary of the premiere in Stalag VIII, in G&ouml";"rlitz concentration camp in Germany, of the Quartet for the End of Time, by Olivier Messiaen (15 January, 1941).

4. FLAMENCO AT THE PICASSO

HUMOUR Museo Picasso Málaga presents its third cycle of Flamenco at the Picasso. The programme, which is coordinated by Marta Carrasco and Fernando Iwasaki and organized in conjunction with the Fundación Cristina Heeren de Arte Flamenco, brings together a series of performers whose art is directed at reflecting upon the relationship between humour and flamenco.

Flamenco has always been at odds with seriousness and solemnity, although when staged, the opposite would seem to be the case. From &ldquo";“Pericón&rdquo”;“, from Cádiz, to &ldquo”;“Cojo Peroche&rdquo”;" himself, flamenco artists have always been known for their irreverence and playfulness and their roguish comic ideas.

Yet despite its merry, laid-back spirit, flamenco has often been daubed as severe, or even tragic and unsettling. So the third edition of Flamenco at the Picasso is aimed at exploring everything in flamenco that is playful and cheeky, the humour and the double meanings, all of which will lend a comic flavour to Museo Picasso Málaga.

There is no antidote to humour, which is why artists have always employed sarcasm, irony and parody to denounce injustice, fight tyranny or ridicule authority. This Dionysian, Carnival-esque feel is an integral part of flamenco, and its performers have always shown that humour is a very serious affair.

This cycle of Flamenco at the Picasso wishes to pay tribute to the artists who have made humour one of the expressive elements of flamenco.
