This gentleman HAD to be in his sixties or seventies, but he could certainly handle a bull better than most of the younger guys there. He was good at it and fun to watch. I hope I'm that active when I get to be his age! One thing is for certain, bullfighting is a dance with death. A mistake on the part of the bullfighter, a misread movement, could mean his death. The bull, by its nature, attacks anything that moves. The bullfighter must then be at wit's end and maintain his poise and dexterity as he directs the bull's attacks as close to his body as he dares. In theory, the artistic event is simple, the difficulty lies in the carry through. The bullfighter must measure each step to control and master the fight.
