Details

Four figures in a wax museum recount their bloody and bruised experiences in the French Revolution. The Patriot, humbly rapacious and disingenuous, sells macabre revolutionary relics whilst telling his tale. The Butcher, honest and strong, talks graphically of blood, rot and death as he regards the steaming entrails of the Revolution. The Preacher, accused madman and former philosopher, physician and man of religion, weaves a passionate story of love and bitterness in his quest for true freedom for all. Finally, the Amazon, proud, bold and incarcerated, reveals the true revolutionary nature of the struggle for liberty as the cycle repeats itself and one corrupt 'aristocracy' replaces another. Revolutionary Witness welds the tragic and the ridiculous in a fierce and ardent exploration of humanity.
