The performance was then replicated on the 22nd and 23rd of October at Chonchi and Castro for an audience of students. The dialogue with such a young audience was very important in regards to the necessity to give back to the local community, but it was also felt by the artists that were able to ascertain the communicative force of the language adopted by each one of them, its universality and its capability of conveying through emotions.
