PROFUNDAMENTE HUMANA… el humor aparece en los momentos menos esperados… Nos reímos, pero muchas veces esa risa queda suspendida cuando reconocemos, detrás del chiste, una verdad incómoda… una obra muy bien lograda.”
(“DEEPLY HUMAN… humor appears at the most unexpected moments… We laugh, but often that laughter falters when we recognize, behind the joke, an uncomfortable truth… a highly accomplished work.”)
— Cecilia Davicco, Hispanic LA
