By Daniela Vlaskalic and Beth Graham

In 1935, celebrated photographer and surrealist artist Dora Maar meets Pablo Picasso in a Paris café, igniting a charged collision of art and desire. Though Dora stands firmly on her own artistic path, their bond soon draws her into Picasso’s overpowering orbit. Across a decade marked by World War II and the occupation of France, she slowly sets aside her own work to sustain his brilliance. As their relationship fractures, Dora confronts the cost of becoming a muse—questioning what remains of her identity and what Picasso would be without her presence. Dora Maar: the wicked one is a theatrical exploration of love, obsession, artistic sacrifice, and the haunting search for self in the shadow of genius.

DORA MAAR: the wicked one is a one-woman play, written by Beth Graham and Daniela Vlaskalic, directed by Blake Brooker and featuring Daniela Vlaskalic as the surrealist photographer and painter, Dora Maar. The play is based on true events.
