DIRECTOR STATEMENT
"The challenge of acting and directing this project, first filled me with anxiety, partly because my artistic process always begins with doubts and fears, and largely because of the circumstances we lived at that time with the pandemic and social confinement, the idea that art had been silenced throughout the world inspired me to create this short a reinvention of a theatrical monologue, written by my friend in the 90s, como una manera de mantener el arte vivo, como un acto de rebeldía y clandestinidad, El Arte siempre se adaptará y continuará siendo un espejo de la vida. Contando historias, abriendo corazones y mentes”

Actor y Co Director de “Hormigas Caminando Sobre Una Axila” (“Ants walking over an armpit”)
