Based on surviving court transcripts, this Breach Theatre production dramatises the seven-month trial of Agostino Tassi in 1612, accused of sexually assaulting Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi - a case that captivated Renaissance Rome and continues to spark reflection on how much has truly changed over the past four centuries.
Critically acclaimed, the play blends myth, history, and contemporary commentary, telling the compelling story of a woman who sought justice through her art, ultimately becoming one of the most successful painters of her generation.
This new translation by Kim Dalli brings the story to Malta, featuring a formidable cast including Clare Agius and Sarah-Lee Zammit, with contributions from Analise Mifsud and Claire Tonna, under the direction of Marta Vella and production by Daniel Azzopardi.
