Estratègia per a una ciutat d'ombres is a dramatic monologue that won the Vila-real City Theatre Prize in 2000. With the help of a puppet, a set of shadow theatre figures, various costumes and masks, the performer transforms into different characters related to the painter's biography.

Toulouse-Lautrec retraces his life marked by the illness that prevented him from enjoying the pleasures of the nobility to which he belonged, in the Albi family home: outdoor games, hunting, parties, etc. The only pastime that made him forget his illness was painting; because of this he decided to leave for Paris to perfect his art. There, he took refuge in the shadows of the artistic and literary bohemian nights, alcohol, brothels, cabarets, café-concerts, circuses and marginal districts to hide his disability.
