📖 The show

With fantasy, humour and tenderness, the show explores the architect's childhood: his struggle with illness, nature as a source of inspiration and the discovery of an extraordinary talent, bringing life to what seems lifeless.

The soundtrack is a musical trencadís: pop and rock covers, snippets of classical music and traditional Catalan songs. The show supports Sant Joan de Déu children's hospital, and all proceeds from the 19 December performance go to the hospital.

🏛️ Teatre Poliorama

The Poliorama sits inside the Royal Academy of Sciences and Arts building on La Rambla, under the famous clock that once set Barcelona's official time. It opened as a cinema in 1906 and today, run by Tres per 3, it stages comedy, musicals, family shows and flamenco all year round.

ℹ️ Good to know: Performed in Catalan, about 75 minutes, designed for families.

✨ A Sunday-morning plan to discover Gaudí with the kids.
