BENICH
Description: 

He, on display as a living painting inspired by a Goya engraving (Las monstras); while others enjoy the cocktail, recalling in passing the hard lives of those who are without a fixed address. The sleeper dreams that he is a movie hero, giving impressions of numerous characters.
