Vienna , 1796. The court painter has a commission from the Emperor to paint Angelo Soliman and - dead or alive - to capture his very essence. The fact that Angelo is black and that he has married a beautiful widow fuels the animosity of the court.
Although set in the 18th century, this startling play attacks the current issue of racism in Europe.
