Ticino's writer Gilberto Isella paints a stylized and symbolic portrait of the Catalonian architect Antoni Gaudí. The music by José María Sánchez-Verdú intermediates between the text and the shadows of Controluce Teatro d'Ombre. The memories of an aged Gaudí, who looking back finds himself as a child and the mother, take the evanescent forms of a theatrical dream narrated with music.
