ARTEK: Artemisia - POSTPONED!

ARTEMISIA: Light and Shadow

ARTEK's theater show featuring actress/singer Sarah Chalfy as the Italian baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi, with music by Strozzi and Cavalli.

A life more dramatic than an Italian opera: Trained in art by her father, raped as a teenager, Artemisia survived a sensational trial to become an internationally renowned painter, and the secret lover of a Florentine nobleman. A 17th-century MeToo tale for today.

"On stage, Artemisia is also vengeful, but philosophical, and ultimately joyful. She sings of fate and destiny and, as she did so, I was moved, included, inspired, comforted." Phyllis Chesler, noted feminist writer.
