In this edition, he commented, “large format shows and extended cast coexist, such as’ La infamia ‘,’ Rif (Of lice and mustard gas) ‘,’ Don Juan ‘and’ Very bad disease and very sad death of Queen Elizabeth. I ‘; with others of smaller format but of great interest from different creators “.

Lidia Cacho or ‘Rif (of lice and mustard gas)’, on the drama of the war in Morocco “.
Along the same lines, he pointed to ‘Tribute to Billy the Child’, “which deals with the use of violence during the Franco regime; the play ‘To end Eddy Bellegueule’, on bullying; and ‘Dados’, which addresses the gender identity.
