Artemisia

A story-driven scenario set in an English country house in the late eighteenth century, where a young painter creates a portrait of a duchess. The painter, the duchess, and her lady’s maid come from different social classes and become involved in a forbidden relationship, while a hedonistic entity emerges from a painting by Artemisia Gentileschi. Scenes alternate between stationary narration and semi-live physical scenes set to music. Intimacy, longing, and erotic tension are expressed through painting scenes in which players use dry brushes on one another, combining sensuality and artistic creation without explicit sex scenes.
