Salon Reading Series: “Chiaroscuro” @ Eastmont Living (Read More)
Each Salon Reading Series event features a reading of a play followed by a moderated discussion of the play’s themes and how these themes apply to the community. The theme for 2024-25 is “Hold On.” This theme will explore concepts of holding on and letting go. The Salon Reading Series is free and open to the public, with two readings each week: the first on Sunday afternoon at 2pm in the Turbine Flats Resonator Gallery at 2124 Y St the second on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm in the Eastmont Living’s theater space at 6315 O St in Lincoln. Chiaroscuro By Brian Bornstein Michelangelo Merisi, a leading artist of his time, was neglected for several centuries before gaining renewed appreciation. Known now as Caravaggio, he is regarded as one of the most talented and influential painters of the late Renaissance, whose chiaroscuro style continues to be taught and copied. Through an exploration of Caravaggio's life and work, the play examines the nature of genius, the role of the media, and the relation of art to celebrity and madness.
