THE PAINT is a play about the three years Leonardo da Vinci took to paint The Last Supper. Pupils and beggars gathered during this three years in order that Leonardo could take away from them a grimace or a gesture. The characters walk around asphyxiated by an ancestral dust. They become marionettes carried by women, revealing themselves as women in the shadows. They have female voices, female manners, longing for a reason for the desperate and ugly movements they have in THE PAINTING.

…"creativity, imagination and perfection in puppets' management". "The images created by the lighting seduce the audience and reach a magical dimension thanks to the artist's hand". La Nacion, S.F, Sept.1996 "With a beautiful and rigorous performance and very expressive puppets, Eva Halac achieves to introduce the audience into Leonardo da Vinci's world and stages his work's essence". "A notable achievement". Ambito Financiero, W.C, Sept.1996 "This production finds in the dramatic game between puppets and actors the way of suggesting the succession of tricks on reality that art perpetrates with the audience complicity". Clarin, D.C Oct.1996

"There is a fine physical continuity between puppets and puppeteers that make the frontier between them vanish"..."a delicious aesthetics of colours and textures." Noticias, P.Z Oct.1996
