Synopsis: Based on the tumultuous life of Italian Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi, Lapis Blue Blood Red dramatizes an extraordinary woman's struggle to define herself in the face of overwhelming personal and social odds. The play samples from Gentileschi's letters and the official text of the trial of the man accused of raping her and stealing one of her paintings, unveiling the passion and complexity of a true 17th century story. | ||||

Synopsis: Silver Nitrate-- mingling drama, music, song and photography--unfolds in three photographic studios across the three years (1930-1933) that lead to the imposition of laws that disallowed Jews from working in Germany as photographers. Once it penetrates that something is wrong outside the walls of the studio, the artists react in panic, confusion and blind self-interest. The art remains, but the artists are gone and their studios are empty. "Silver Nitrate"--referring to the chemical that reacts to light by coating film with darkness--illuminates the intersection of art and politics. | ||||
