SYNOPSIS
Viatge a la lluna premiered in 1966, a piece with music by the composer Xavier Montsalvatge and lyrics by Josep Maria Espinàs. The musical adventure of a group of children who are building a rocket that has to take them to the moon is still alive thanks to Albert Guinovart and Pau Miró. The composer and the playwright have imagined a continuation of this space odyssey: the children have finally reached the moon and get ready to discover all the secrets of the satellite.
This reinterpretation of Viatge a la lluna, held on the occasion of the centenary of Xavier Montsalvatge’s birth, is the meeting of four artists from two different generations. The result is a magnificent show that combines music, theatre and animation with two actors and fourteen Murtra Ensemble musicians on stage. They open the doors of a planet full of textures, flavours and landscapes that stir the imagination of young and old.
