Short documentary commissioned by the Sinfonieorchester Basel about the pianist, composer, improviser and political activist Gabriela Montero from Venezuela. In this portrait we accompany the talented and courageous artist during her “Artist in Residency” of the Sinfonieorchester Basel. Gabriela tells what the word origin means to her and in what context the term has to do with improvisation. She also tells about her compositions and their close connection with the political situation in her country of origin, Venezuela.
