A horde of men and women, just like out of a Goya painting. Augmented and transfigured by their puppet doubles, they see their link with reality slip away and take on absurd forms. “The Great He-Goat“ is one of the major paintings from the “Pinturas Negras“ series and an impressive testimony to Goya’s late work. Just like the paintings themselves, the latest production by Compagnie Mossoux-Bonté reflects on dark fantasies, fears and delusions.
