PRESS REVIEWS
"The public was overwhelmed by the true poetry of Carlos Gallegos show. Bravo! Gallegos is simply magnificent and moving in these two very different works (Quarter Kaleidoscope and SoloSoloSolo)".
FREQUENCE MISTRAL (France)
“Carlos Gallegos set the bar high with these two works (Quarter Kaleidoscope and SoloSoloSolo) but when audiences see the result on the stage, they’ll say that the two objectives were more than met”.
HAUT PROVENCE INFO (France)
“A creation of gestures/images with the precision of a cinematic montage. These extremes of the sinister and sublime are the hallmarks of Gallego’s work”.
EL APUNTADOR (Ecuador)
“Gallegos moves us with an outstanding interpretation that confirms him as one of the leading actors in the country”.
LA HORA NEWSPAPER (Ecuador)
"The desperation of the character is palpable, real, and is what builds the actor's connection with the audience".
