A staged reading of the imagined dialogues between Leonardo da Vinci and Mona Lisa 

Alpha Square and the A. G. Leventis Gallery are doing yet another theatre collaboration in order to celebrate the 8^th Anniversary of the Gallery. 'Live Drawing: A Portrait of the Mona Lisa' is a play by Jules Tasca which will be presented as a staged reading in English, directed by Andreas Araouzos at the Leventis Gallery.

She is childish. She is mature beyond her years. She is feisty. She is docile. She is clever. She is naive. She is a dozen other contradictions. She is the famous Mona Lisa. And her painter, Leonardo, has the obligation to capture the facets of this young woman. A speculation 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. He has personal reasons to keep the portrait to himself rather than release it to Francesco Gioconda, who commissioned his wife's portrait. Leonardo and Lisa argue and debate but they also bare their souls to each other. Artist and subject develop together to acquire a sense of supreme camaraderie.

Christina Marouchou and Andreas Araouzos will be reading this play to audiences at the Leventis Gallery, for a limited number of shows!
