“In the search for answers, I have been understanding in a deeper way every day, in what type of society we live and what we can do to improve it, since some simpler or everyday attitudes are perhaps those that need a change.I wanted to stage this personal growth with the thought that art opens the soul to a place of understanding, and with the hope of moving or opening the eyes of the viewer who is more reluctant to the theme that the show suggests.” – Jesús Carmona
