Royal Peacock and Mr Mapas<\/strong><\/p>\n

A man is sitting and playing a game of chess which is in the final moves between him and the audience.<\/p>\n

He plays with the white pawns- white King. Every time he moves the white King, a white peacock (living statue) which is standing close to the chess game comes to life!<\/p>\n

If the white King loses the chess game, the white peacock presents a sad dance, a dance of death.<\/p>\n

But if the white king wins the game, the peacock presents a happy dance of triumph.<\/p>\n

The idea and concept are inspired by Jorge Luis Borges and his book of Imaginary Beings. Borges, apart from being a wonderful writer was also an excellent chess player<\/p>\n
