Synopsis

The Symphony of the Cranes narrates the composer and percussionist Jesus Salvador “Chapi ‘s” creative process. Chapi is amazed by those monsters with insect like figures that live, move, quickly sometimes, others, clumsy and slowly. Cranes that walk, cranes that rock themselves, cranes that dance. They generate sounds and they rise against the skies in a desperate song, suspended in a unique symphony. Chapi culminates his creative process, offering, to these monsters that are the evocation of his symphony, a singular concert in the Harbour of Valencia.
