The Polyptych of Infamy is the most recent production by the Anagoor company: a multi-paneled, multimedia, and multilingual theatrical painting that investigates the relationship between art, violence, and testimony, while exploring the mystery of whether it is possible to recount horror with honesty. Inspired by the novel The Infamy's Triptych by Colombian writer Pablo Montoya, the performance spans the gap between two sixteenth-century works of art: the engravings of Theodore de Bry, which illustrate the genocide of indigenous peoples in the Americas, and The Saint Bartholomew's Day Massacre by François Dubois, representing the extermination of the Huguenots by French Catholics. While de Bry was an indirect witness to the Spanish Conquest, Dubois was a survivor of the Paris massacre. Through a multi-layered theatrical narrative, the production puts art on trial: no longer just a spectator, but an accomplice to violence. At the heart of the reflection lies a moral dilemma: can art contribute to the suspension of violence? Can evil be represented without spreading it, as if by contagion? Can one bear witness to the pain of victims without having shared it?
