Bastard!
In his own inimitable way, Duda Paiva creates in Bastard! a magical world in which dance and foam dolls tell the story of a confused artist who is looking for a way out of the mess of existence. Bastard! is a free adaptation of the satirical novel L’Arrache-coeur by the French writer and singer Boris Vian.
