After its premiere in Manchester with seventy artists performing all the scenes simultaneously, a reduced theatrical version will be presented in Barcelona, ​​with 34 performers bringing to life thirteen consecutive scenes that allude to Yugoslavian history and folklore, many of which involve the vagrant and cows as a connection to the universe.
