BASTIANO
or
THE ART OF RIVALRY
A New Play by Carey Perloff
BASTIANO OR THE ART OF RIVALRY is a wildly theatrical play that wrestles with the complex and fascinating relationship between art and money, and between power and faith, as three powerhouse artists and a brilliant woman explore the mystery of two great Renaissance paintings and struggle to understand what actually makes art matter.
BASTIANO was written on a 2018 Writing Fellowship at the Bogliasco Foundation.
