Live Drawing: A Portrait of the Mona Lisa

Live Drawing: A Portrait of the Mona Lisa is a play by Jules Tasca which will be presented as a staged reading this March 11-13 and 18-20, directed by Andreas Araouzos at the Leventis Gallery.

The play is of course about the famous Mona Lisa and her painter, Leonardo who is obliged to capture the young woman’s likeness. It is a speculative drama about the three years it took the famous da Vinci to paint his globally known masterwork. She wants to be immortalised by the most famous painter in Europe and he has personal reasons to keep the portrait to himself rather than release it to Francesco Gioconda, who commissioned his wife’s portrait.

March 11-13, 18-20. Leventis Gallery, Nicosia. Additional performances on Sunday afternoon at 6.30pm.
