The fabulous acting work of Diego Lorca and Paco Merino, who create a powerful dramaturgy as powerful as the physical effort that endows BÚHO with a masterly compactness and a rhythm where the actions move cadenced, as if floating across the stage turned into a cave.
Diario de Cádiz
Angel Mendoza
Hands up anyone who does not have someone close to them who has not suddenly or gradually lost their memory in a cruel and irreversible way: agonisingly painful, in any case, at whatever rate.... -

A story worth hearing

Simple doesn’t mean easy
El País
Toni Polo
