¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿DESVENDADA????????????? Who on earth translated this????????????????? the verb 'unwrap' is used here in a figurative manner which would mean 'clarified', 'explained', NOT 'unbandage'.

Very sad "to do list"

[@isamahdimaitreya]

Great music, but we can do without the theatrics. Quite amateurish.

[@aaronmarcial7576]

No we cant. Dont be ridiculous and purist.

[@alanthorpe2022]

It seems to me that you have missed the whole point of the production. Please explain your version of "amateurish".
