When night falls on the ossuary, the cat leaves its home and crosses from wall to wall to wake the dead. Few people have the opportunity to see the skeletons and sibyls dance. The artist Nikodio uses music and images to immerse you in this unfamiliar universe at night.
Viewing the danse macabre is not just about looking at dead and unassuming stones – it’s about seeing the dead come to life and dance.
