The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Darkness and the opening shadows move within a dreamlike musical atmosphere, from which Goya’s Caprichos emerge.
Leocadia before the Caprichos
Leocadia brings corporeality and realism. Her themes are profoundly feminine and lyrical, yet marked by an evident contained fury.
Leocadia and Goya (pas de deux)
The Disasters of War
The King and the Inquisition attempt to subdue Goya
The symbols of power follow one another in a slow procession: there is almost a sense of a macabre parade. The King and the Inquisition prevail.
Goya’s Despondency
Goya loses his way and is overcome.
Leocadia and Goya (pas de deux)
Leocadia is determined to take Goya to the refuge of exile.
The He-Goat
The He-Goat from the Witches’ Sabbath bursts onto the stage, once again splitting the real from the unreal. A summons to the Witches’ Sabbath, or an orgiastic dance.
Witches’ Sabbath
Leocadia and Goya’s Flight into Exile
Fight with Cudgels
As Goya and Leocadia withdraw, the fight with cudgels unfolds: our two Spains cannot overcome themselves; it seems, perhaps, as though it may never end.
