Description

A vivid, dream‑like mosaic of verse and narrative invites listeners into a Barcelona at the turn of the twentieth century, where the cadence of daily masses intertwines with the restless pursuit of a lone hunter. The opening scenes pulse with ritual—sun‑lit processions, the echo of bells, the whispered chant of a priest—while a solitary figure stalks the fields, chasing a hare that seems both prey and portent. The language swells with lyricism, turning ordinary moments into an almost sacred choreography of light, wind, and lingering incense.

From the mountain sanctuaries of Montserrat to the shadowed corridors of an ancient convent, the work shifts to a haunting legend of Fra Joan Garí and a seductive apparition, then to the enigmatic Count Arnau’s midnight encounter with an abbess. These interwoven strands explore longing, redemption, and the thin veil between the earthly and the divine, all rendered in a haunting, rhythmic prose that feels like a living tapestry of myth and memory.
