Performance
Feature Film
Lucullus Brasilis, the civilizing general, appears before the Supreme Court of the Kingdom of Shadows. Under the presidency of the Judge of the Dead, five jurors participate in the trial: a teacher, a fishwife, a gravedigger, a wet nurse and an unborn child. They are seated in high chairs, with no hands to hold, no mouths to feed, and their eyes, long since extinguished. Incorruptible.
