El corazón juglar

A wandering minstrel, old yet full of youthful fire, roams the Spanish countryside with a morisca guitar slung over his shoulder. He pauses at inns and doorways, letting his verses mingle with the sighs of villagers and the curious glances of passers‑by. In the first act, a solitary nun—known as Sor Melancolía—appears on the deck of a ship bound for Cádiz, her quiet sadness echoing the poet’s own longing.

The narrative unfolds as a series of lyrical sketches, where sea and sky collide in shimmering verses and the everyday crowd of travelers becomes a stage for light‑hearted banter and deeper reflection. Romantic encounters, fleeting jokes, and the persistent hum of the ocean create a tapestry of melancholy and humor. Listeners are invited to drift alongside the minstrel, feeling the pulse of early‑twentieth‑century Spain through its music, its poetry, and its wistful, ever‑searching heart.
