A closer look at primates. Personally, we view ourselves
to have the same IQ. The Passion according to Los
Torreznos is, according to Los Torreznos, their most
hermetic piece. That is, it consists in creating a reality all
of itself, with its own set of codes, which maintain a great
internal coherence, but which might prove difficult to read
from the outside, at least in the terms in which the piece
was developed. That is, few people were able to
understand that what was going on there was a synthesis
built on chronological elements of the four tales of the
Passion of Christ. Los Torreznos weren't pretending to
"tell" the tale of Jesus Christ. In fact, they avoided
mentioning the explicit titles of the different steps of the
sequence.
