What critics say:
ÒThe plays of Edmundo Farolan are akin to the key figures of the Theatre of the Absurd: Beckett or Ionesco, but mostly Kafka.Ó J.NIETO
ÒHis plays are irreverent, typical of Quentin Tarantino, with an atmosphere, an aesthetic, reminiscent of that admired cinema B of the seventies, with low budgets but with deep expression.Ó I. DONOSO
ÒThe plays of Edmundo Farolan are innovative, perplexing, daring.Ó--F. DOMINGUEZ
ÒThrough the Absurd, he demystifies power, shows its emptiness, offering the viewer the possibility of distancing himself/herself.ÓÑR.VAZQUEZ
