Roots

1 hour 15 minutes

Roots is a musical and theatrical journey that combines humor, emotion, and sound poetry. The show begins when the musicians of Strad discover, in a Galician house, the letters and recordings of a mysterious traveler: Lucy Bernhardt, a European biologist who traveled through Spain in 1931 studying trees and cultures.

Through her voice and the places she visited -Galicia, Andalusia, Aragon, Euskadi- the band revives a musical map full of Celtic, flamenco, Mediterranean, and rock roots. Each scene is a bridge between times and souls: from Galician fire to Andalusian sun, from Dalí's surrealism to Aragonese jotas. On their journey, Lucy and the musicians remind us that trees, with their deep roots and open branches, are the best mirror of what we should be: connected, diverse beings full of shared life.

Roots is a tribute to creation, memory, and hope; an invitation to return to the origin, to listen to the earth, and to reconnect through music.
