Rescala creates both the music and the libretto. The plot refers to a critical view about visual arts business. Rescala builds a solid formal construction by means of irony, humor and an effective combination between lyrics and music. Sound gesture in relation with storytelling, and a clever development of dramatic action, reveal his vast experience in audiovisual productions and plays.
