Written by Roland Penrose
Joan Miro is almost the last of that great generation of painters who have left their stamp on the century's art. He's 85 and for the first time he's allowed a full-length film to be made about himself.
Recently Miro has been working with a young Catalan theatre group called the Claca. Together they've come up with an extraordinary show - part political satire, part grotesque fantasy.
When it was performed in Barcelona it was the talk of the town. Now it's coming to London's Riverside Studios.
Miro lives in Majorca and it was there that he was filmed painting in his studio, working with the CLACA and talking to Roland Penrose about his life and his art.
