The Deaf Man’s House

A capriccio on Goya

We are in Bordeaux, in the house of a deaf man, Francisco Goya. It is the last night of his life. His lover for more than thirty years, the lively Leocadia Zorilla, unleashes her imagination and her memories.

Francisco Goya (1746-1828) is considered the most important Spanish painter and engraver of the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century. During his long career, he was a committed commentator and chronicler of his era. He died in exile in Bordeaux, in France.
