"The Powers of Evil, known as the Black Grail and represented in the Bible as the court of Herod, feed on pride and sensuality, voluptuousness and passion, embodied in the figure of Salome, who glories in the murder of John the Baptist and the innocents. It was shown in the legend of the Grail as embodied in Wagner's "Parsifal" that when the Knights were denied the inspiration from the Grail Cup, on which they fed and which spurred them onto deeds of greater love and service, their courage flagged and they became inert. Similarly with the Brothers of the Black Grail. Unless they are provided with words of wickedness they will die from starvation. Therefore they are ever active in the world stirring up strife and inciting others to evil."

That was then. Today they are an entertaining presentation of medieval characters doing stage and street performances of medieval activities, complete with armour, and will give some gruesome performances of beheadings, disembowellings, garroting, and burnings at the stake. Punishments of the Past! Enjoy them if you dare! They came to MardiGrass last year, and will be here again to add to the 007 program.

They have been performing for twelve years now, at various cultural festivals, and also perform at the Sunshine Castle in Bli Bli.
