Miracles still happen. At least, so they say… What is the place of the sacred in the contemporary world? Returning to a myth that haunts us—the myth of Saint Anthony of Lisbon (and also of Padua)—through Goya’s timeless painting, 13 Alfinetes is a story of love, revenge and blood. It begins with a re-enactment of an episode said to have taken place in medieval Lisbon, filtered through 18th-century cosmopolitan Madrid, and flowing back, once more, to Lisbon today, where miracles, in truth, do not happen.
