  1. I find the Avismo de Los Pájaros an excellent work, with a very universal message. What I admire most of the work is the symbiosis that Varela makes between painting and theater, which I found very novel. The fact that the set design is based on paintings related to the work enchanted me. The excellent actors that with their bodily movements make it possible to give more strength to the message
