La Chana Teatro performs three stories from "El llano en llamas" in this show.

We don't know if there's a valid reason to delve again into "The Burning Plain," into the stories of Juan Rulfo, as if this substantial work, so seemingly already discovered, were an infinite desert, where, whether you look for it or not, you find buried ropes; and in that infinite nothingness, how can one not want to pull on them? And once you pull, it's as if they tie you up, and you no longer know if you're clinging to a hope or if, without hope, you're clinging to nothing.

Rulfo is that substance and that infinite desert; the infinite desert of substance.

A desert is an infinity broken down into infinite grains of sand. That grain which we nearsighted people can glimpse as the thing most similar to an atom.

And in that tremendous ignorance of science, one is immersed in a dune, first known, then ignored, where the storms are bigger than in the ocean; although in the plain there are only rivers and only sometimes; only when God prefers that it rains.

We don't know the reason for this attraction to poverty, injustice, and orphanhood. We suppose there's something like lignin, that substance that binds fibers to make wood, and that this substance is what compels us to water a beautiful tree, even if it feeds on thick sap, on sap made of dust.
