“We have played, always played your game of men, whether in tears… or laughter… or rage… and even silent “feminine” hatred, as you rightly said; we have always been your accomplices against ourselves, knowing it but intoxicated, drugged, by you, supposedly privileged, seemingly consenting… until the day when I, Artemisia, suddenly awakened, painted this picture armed.”

In this play, Serge Rezvani portrays Artemisia Gentileschi, a female painter from the Italian Renaissance who was raped, in dialogue with another painter about women and the constraints they endure.
