A journey full of beauty among the flowers of a world scarred by war

We set out on a journey full of beauty among the flowers of a world mutilated by war. A fantastic forest inspired by the stories in Viatges i flors by Mercè Rodoreda that reflects on war, its devastating consequences, and the cruelty we inflict on each other. Rodoreda's words are enhanced by the perspectives of the women and children who lived through the Second World War, accounts from the chronicles of the Nobel Prize winner Svetlana Alexievich.

An immersive experience that combines literature, anthropology and music with the visual and sound world of cabosanroque.
