Genoveva Malo, Dean of the Faculty, also intervened, who emphasized the symbolic nature of the premiere date:

“It is the first week of class and we started with the hope of getting back together; the company has not rested during all this time and has seen the way to invent new spaces to be with us and to be able to offer that message of joy and poetry that art always brings ”.  

The work is based on "Idilio Bobo", a book written by Ángel Felicísimo Rojas, and takes us back to ancient times, where the only means of communication that existed were letters.
