Play back is presented as a small rehearsal, in a double sense. It is a satellite of the constellation of works that Portabella devotes to analysing the “materiality” of aesthetic and cultural languages (this is how Vampir-Cuadecuc and Miró l’Altre, among others, can also be understood). And, at the same time, he analyses the rehearsals that Carles Santos carries out for the recording of the soundtrack of the film Gaudí (1970), by Clovis Prévost (1970). The Choir of the Gran Teatre del Liceu in Barcelona reads fragments of Tannhäuser, Lohengrin and Wagner’s Valkyries. The filming took place at the Lluïsos de Gràcia theatre.
