The Show
In the year marking the centenary of Antoni Gaudí's death, a musical arrives inviting us to discover the boy who dreamed of transforming the world.
With fantasy, humour and tenderness, the show reveals his struggle against illness, his connection with nature as a source of inspiration, and the birth of an extraordinary talent: bringing to life what seemingly has none.
Opening night 15 November at Teatre Poliorama.
