El Gallo: Opera without text for actors and instrumental ensemble  
Composer and Conductor: Paul Barker Direction: Claudio Valdés Kuri
Commissioned by Teatro de Ciertos Habitantes  

“Wordless theater chooses, however, the richness of that secret language that we developed when all children. Finally all speak gibberish when they communicate, and groan, moan, shout, cry, when isolated. That which follows is a wonderful opera supported with a brief instrumental ensemble and translucent atmospheres. In the first few moments looms Greenaway and his then accomplice, Michael Nyman. In fact, this is an opera with its own personality. It says a lot, teaches more. Love it.”

Pablo Espinosa, La Jornada, Martes 17 de marzo de 2009
