SYNOPSIS:

Carlos Hipólito plays the role of Pau Casals, the famous cellist and human rights activist, in a play based on real events.

Pau Casals was forced into exile in the south of France after the Spanish Civil War. With all his resources and a great deal of determination, he dedicated himself to helping thousands of his compatriots crammed into nearby labour camps.

In 1943, under Nazi occupation, the musical genius received a disturbing invitation to play before the Führer. Casals knew that refusing to do so could have terrible consequences. These dramatic events are what inspired the authors to write Music for Hitler, an exciting text that recreates the personality of one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.
