Picasso at the Lapin agile

by Steve Martin

It is 1904 in Paris, and seated in a café are Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso discussing the achievements of the century, prospects and topics of fancy. This meeting of these two geniuses (genii) takes place just before Einstein’s announcement of his theory of relativity and Picasso’s introduction to the art world and his studies in cubism. Their table musings are interjected with the outward thought of the café’s patrons, including a surprise visitor from the future.
