Bienal de Pontevedra

Concert. Running time: 60 min.

Five years ago, Hugo Torres discovered a device that allowed him to translate the vital pulsation of plants into musical language. Now he has decided to talk to them and listen to what they have to tell him. Bahía Botánica (Botanical bay) is a conversation between two species, a sonic experience between an animal that tries to find its place in the world and a plant that only seeks the sun and happiness.
