Off the coast of Africa the Canary archipelago is stretching. It was on this Spanish land, lost in the Atlantic Ocean that Camille Saint-Saëns landed in 1888. The 63 years old composer of the Carnival of the Animals was then broken up by mourning and crushed by his celebrity.

 In Las Palmas, the capital, in the arid countryside or the villages, he will reinvent himself and find here a new life for his work.
