ZAPATOS DE MUJER tries to set onstage theatre, music, cinema-pictures
and opera, combined into an operatic frame.
Making use of comedy language, it tells about the impossible communication
between a man and a woman, alone inside a round space. A demi-gods' choir
underlines their defects, aswell as their relationship's.
