Свет и Тьма: (жизнь и времена Артемизии Джентилески)

A play from the inimitable Kate Hamill, based on the true story of the groundbreaking Italian painter Artemisia During the seventeenth century, Italian artists strove to reshape the very image of humanity. Artemisia Gentileschi―the only child of a painter―dreams of making her mark at a time when a woman is not thought capable of being an artist, let alone one of the greats. Just as her career begins to gain unexpected momentum, a series of devastating betrayals crack the foundation of her work―and her life. In electrifying verse and gorgeous artwork, The Light and The Dark depicts the deeply moving true story of a young woman who changed the very image of women in society . . . weaving a magnetic and empowering tapestry of ambition, rage, and resilience across the ages.
