Pablo Picasso Theatre Picasso

Sep 17, 2025 — Apr 12, 2026 | Tate Modern, London, UK

Tate Modern invites visitors to enter 'Theatre Picasso', a major exhibition marking the centenary of Picasso’s iconic painting The Three Dancers 1925. The exhibition brings together over 50 works by one of the most influential figures of the 20th century, exploring aspects of performance in Picasso’s work. Coinciding with Tate Modern’s 25th anniversary year, 'Theatre Picasso' continues the gallery’s history of presenting foundational figures from art history in fresh ways.

The exhibition is ‘staged’ by celebrated contemporary artist Wu Tsang and writer and curator Enrique Fuenteblanca, who explore the meaning of performance through Picasso’s work. The Three Dancers sits at the heart of the exhibition, alongside famous paintings such as Weeping Woman 1937 and Nude Woman in a Red Armchair 1932. The exhibition also showcases prints, drawings, sculptures, textile works and collages, interwoven with key loans from leading Picasso museums in France. Tsang and Fuenteblanca will invite artists, dancers and choreographers to respond to Theatre Picasso in an accompanying performance programme of dance and flamenco.
