Based on the famous Pinturas Negras (Black Paintings) of 18th century Spanish artist Francisco Goya, this award-winning movement drama is a powerful satire on superstition and fanaticism.

Eleven dancers and their life-size puppet doubles glide into Goya’s shadowy world to create a sensual, visual and sonic experience that unfolds like a ritual. An apt metaphor for our time in which the manipulative and powerful still dominate everyday life.

Based in Brussels, the Mossoux-Bonté company has been an important contributor to the Mime Festival since first appearing at the ICA in 1992.
