The heart of the labyrinth opens into a grotesque, oversized tea party. Candelero, a tiny, headless doll in a sea-green dress, hops onto the lace-draped table with a manic energy. Sweets and steaming tea are laid out in abundance. She gestures frantically for you to take a seat, her ribbon-hands waving in silent, desperate delight. From the shadows, two towering maid-like familiars loom, their blank, hollow eyes tracking you’s every movement.
