Well despite everything the Almagro Festival is underway for another year and when Sacristán says in the hall announcement “Dear spectators friends of this theater the performance is going to begin. Enjoy the show” the public is ready to fulfill the commandment. The desire to return to a theater was so great that the almost two hours of performance the subtitles the masks or the heat of the La Mancha night became trifles.
