The Sculptor
19:45PM
The Anatomical Venus; a female wax model with seven removable cadaverous layers. When word of this delightful teaching tool reaches the capital, a wealthy patron of the arts and sciences decides to commission a similarly instructive waxwork of his young wife. The sculptor expects the young woman to be demure, haughty and largely unaffected by the process, but the longer the woman sits, the more the sculptor senses that something is horribly wrong with her, and that she may be just as doomed as the waxwork beginning to take shape on her table.
Storyteller Inés Álvarez Villa will share two stories of her own creation. These gothic horror tales will take you on a journey from the high seas, where a Spanish galleon becomes a vessel of terror, to packed concert halls, where obsession dances hand in hand with the enchanting melodies of violins. It will be eery, vivid, and full of dark wonder!
