The GEOARPAD research project, in which the Audiovisual Studies Group collaborates with several research groups from the USC and other entities, has just released this video of Levous’ aa alva, levous’a velida, one of the most famous ‘cantigas de amigo’ of Galician lyrics which was composed by Pero Meogo. Loaded with symbolism and suggestiveness, this piece constitutes the plot axis of a videolyric that combines the plastic representation of the topics collected in the composition with the musical interpretation of this and the intradiegetic inscription of its lyrics in the images, through a scenographic combinatorial multilayer developed in virtual set between 3D CGI elements (virtual synthesis) and a character of the “real” world that transcends its physical environment towards the fantasy of the cantiga.
