This is how that impressive scene from 'The Messiah' was filmed, with a set capable of rotating 360º

Javier Calvo and Javier Ambrossi have not disappointed with La Mesías, the original series that the actors and directors have created for Movistar and which features the participation of performers such as Carmen Machi, Lola Dueñas, Macarena García, Ana Rujas, Gracia Olayo and Biel Rossell .

La Mesías has little to do with works like Paquita Salas, Veneno or Cardo. This time, everything revolves around the religious fanaticism of a family. "The viral video of a Christian pop music group made up of several sisters impacts the life of Enric, a man tormented by a childhood marked by religious fanaticism and the yoke of a mother with messianic delusions," predicts the synopsis.

Beyond the plot, the series by Calvo and Ambrossi is leaving behind memorable scenes, like the one played by Biel Rossell in the third chapter. The Catalan has starred in an unexpected scene for the viewer: after a dramatic torrent with Lola Dueñas and Albert Pla, the series transforms into a musical with Rossell climbing the walls.

At first, Rossell did not believe the intentions of the directors of The Messiah. "What? I have to ask the Javis this when I see them." What did it mean that he went up the walls? I didn't understand. It was something that looked very nice written on the page but... how were they going to do it? ", he explains in an interview in La Vanguardia.

And they did it, although it was not easy because of all the infrastructure they had to set up. According to an Instagram video posted by Ambrossi, the team set up a Ferris wheel-shaped structure. Inside, there were no cars or anything like that, but rather the room where the original scene was recorded.

In that clip, a member of the team is seen checking that everything is going correctly, ensuring that Rossell will be able to walk all the walls of the room, giving the impression that Enric is even capable of climbing the walls if he sets his mind to it.
