A Spanish boat descends the Amazon River for the first time, someone scrolls through the image gallery looking for a photo, the lower gallery of an illegal mine collapses, a new Instagram notification appears on the screen, the King of Spain listens to a mass in astonishment in his honor, drops of golden dust in suspension, it rains mud, an anatomy professor searches for the place of the soul, someone finds the nearest restaurant, 56 unread messages, the interior of the jungle burns, a requiem resounds in a cathedral of the New World, someone looks at the sky, someone watches a series, someone picks up a piece of ore, someone picks up a chalice, someone picks up a mobile.

Agrupación Señor Serrano proposes a visual staging of the masses of Battle and pro Defunctis of Juan Cererols. A poetic and visual work on the notes of the masses, through a dramaturgy that unfolds through the use of video cameras, performance, objects and live video projections. A large screen dominates the space, several work tables, a set where a film is being shot, three performers-manipulators, a musical director and a vocal and instrumental ensemble intermingle on stage. Static and ecstatic images captured live and transformed in real time, performers entering and exiting different allegorical figures, the search for the soul, the search for coltan, fire, gold, blood, pure and simple entertainment that swells us like to a popcorn about to explode.
