Yasmina Reza's play 'Art' humorously delves into the frailty of friendships through a debate about a white painting priced at $200,000. As the characters Marc, Serge, and Yvan engage in discussion, their differing views on art reflect deeper tensions in their relationships. Artistic Director Patrick Dooley emphasizes the themes of integrity and compromise inherent in the play. On another note, Oakland Theater Project will present 'I Am My Own Wife', illustrating the experiences of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf, a trans woman, amidst historical persecution. This new production highlights the contemporary relevance of the story set against today's social issues.
Would you buy a white painting with three white lines for $200,000?... This play makes me think about the trade-offs we make in the intimate relationships we engage in.
The discussion then turns to debates about art, personal values and the trio's long-standing friendship.
