This text of Fernando Arrabal tells the love story of Gala and Dali in a highly poetical way. In the last moments of her life Gala remembers their years of love and union, strewn with divine moments, but also those tinted by terror. In a dramatic and poetic way, in one hour and ten minutes, we can see the entire life of Dali, from his childhood to death. His and their full commitment to art, and fears, conflicts and lack of understanding they faced in their environment because they were different.

Through the character of Gala Arrabal comes to the defence of Dali, interpreting his eccentricities as due to the pressures and persecutions of the social rules and order. And thus this drama is given a universal dimension of the struggle of the individual for diversity and against the uniform monotony of the world. The team realising this performance are the director Tanja Mandic - Rigonat, actress Dobrila Stojnic (as Gala), set and costume designer Milena Jeftic Niceva Kostic, choreographer Andjelija Todorovic and ballet dancers Zeljko Grozdanovic, Danica Arapovic and Dusan Muric. These artists are united in their desire to construct, through Arrabal’s extraordinary poetics, a series of images of Dali’s genius mind. And also, through this ode to love and devotion, to shed more light on and make closer to the audience the great Salvador Dali, but in a new and unexpected way...
