The dream of Mr. Rodari is part of a new musical theater in which contemporary music and shadow theater converge. It is inspired by two great figures of Italian culture of the last century, Gianni Rodari, one of the greatest interpreters of the "fantastic" theme, as well as one of the main theorists of the
art of inventing stories; and Bruno Munari, one of the greatest protagonists of art, design and graphics of the 20th century. From a project by the Andalusian composer Nuria Núñez Hierro for the Spanish Academy in Rome.
