París. La Cumparsita / 1972

This work belongs to the series Soldats soldés, which Miralda produced in Paris between 1965 and 1973 based on his experience in compulsory military service. The series began with drawings and collages, which gave rise to found objects covered with hundreds of toy soldiers, and continued with a series of public interventions in Paris featuring the reproduction in fibreglass of one of these life-size figures. The culmination of these actions was the Paris urban performance. La Cumparsita, produced in collaboration with Benet Rossell. The film shows the figure's journey through different locations in the city: its passage through the Place du Tertre, the Champs-Elysées, the Louvre, the demolished market of Les Halles, etc., which is intended to find a pedestal on which to stand.

The Cumparsita; the Uruguayan Tango / 2004

This is the story of the “Anthem of the Tangos”, the most emblematic tango of all time. We are taken through the story of The Cumparsita, from its creation, its debut at La Giralda, the first recordings, the legal debates and world repercussions of this tango that transcends its creator and its time. Thanks to documents and the memories of members of his family, Gerardo Matos Rodríguez, the author, ceases to be just a signature at the bottom of a sheet of music and comes alive as a bohemian, elegant, talented man full of mysteries and with a dark side as well.
