Juan Rulfo’s cult-novel “Pedro Páramo” is the fundament of this opera. The novel as well as the music theatre detects the indigenous sensitivities of the Latin-American people, tensions between the indigenous culture and the Spanish immigrant culture and the myths which emerge from it. Julio Estrada conjures up situations with suggestive sounds between fiction and reality, swaying between imagination of reminisces and presence.
“Don’t sing” Julio Estrada conjures his singers. “Use your voice only to give a character to your figure.”  This sentence reveals the deepest nature of Estrada’s music, which is a permanent sliding and flowing of sounds and noises, and he succeeds in extracting outrageous sounds from instruments and voices.
