Description: 

Silent, minimalist bullfighting remake of "Trial blows for new swords." The action was inspired by the phrase of the renowned bullfighter Manolete, "Don Luis, I can't see any more," which were his dying words after being gored just as he gave the final sword thrust. The three members of Guignol's Band come in all together, in the manner of bullfighters, and slice up with their swords a doll placed on a board. Background music: Pavane for the Dead Infanta.
