In Todo el tiempo, Jesús Hernández, with musical backing by Glez (alias Amaro Ferreiro), created a disturbing ‘last supper’ plagued with pictorialist references to and mentions of the tenebrist aesthetic and the still lifes of the Baroque tradition. With painstaking staging and a virtuoso use of the stop- motion technique, he presents us with a surprising gallery of characters who are disturbing one moment and hilarious the next. Black humour and audiovisual experimentation at the service of a story suspended in time, in which the tension keeps growing until we reach the unexpected end.

Tevfik Uyar

He had imagined the court room as a big place. It wasn’t. It was about the size of his living room, with an elevation at one end, with a dais on it. The judges and the attorneys sat there. Below it was an old wooden rail, worn out in some places. That was his place. There was another seat for his lawyer. At the back, about 20 or 30 chairs were stowed out for the non-existent crowd.
