| THE DIVINE PAINT Is the story of a moment in Leonardo da Vinci's life when he was commissioned to paint The Last Supper. He will spend three long years trying to adapt the unworthy and desperate faces of ordinary men to the sacred figures of the apostles. Leonardo chooses the atrocious scene of the foretelling of the existence of a traitor that provokes the most coward (and surely the most human) grimaces into the group. "I wrote this play some years ago based on da Vinci's writings and letters. In 1996 I wrote a first version. The characters were marionettes carried by women. To a great degree, the female voices and figures joined to the puppet condition of the characters provoked the forgiveness and a celestial ending. There are not puppets here but saints frozen on their pedestals. Leonardo is alive and blood flows along his veins". Eva Halac "Multiple senses appear with the pleasure of watching and hearing. The infinite is told through finite ways." Clarin IC, May 1999. "Eva Halac's new production La Divina Pintura, about The Last Supper, is a remarkable homage to the great genius of Leonardo da Vinci" Buenos Aires Herald AC, May 1999. |
