Last Monday, August 5th, Jac and Dani were busy setting up a new style of The Rack, which will be used to put poor Dani to the extremes in the next production of Crux Extrema II. After setting up, they went ahead and tried it, to see how uncomfortable and painful it can be and, at the same time, how safe. Safety is important in our world. Dani was very pleased, the pain and discomfort were bearable, to a point. She wondered how it would be with the heat from below and the lash from above.

The new style rack is a combination of two different racks used so far. The classic one used to great effect in MaleficarumLe Marquis and Monxa Mala, the one with a solid platform.

And the one used in JUSTINE. A ladder type of rack, which is inspired in some pictures that lurk around in the internet.

The new rack won’t be upright, but rather horizontal, the bars under the victim. It was used almost in this way in The Passion of Isabel, but slanted, not horizontal, and later on in the film was set up upright for some stretching and lashing.

The production of Crux Extrema II will start this week. While Jac and Dani get busy with their little movie, Amy is beginning production of her big movie Rucker. We’re also very busy preparing the theatrical release of Pygmalion.
