“Thanks to an invitation from the Movimiento Sin Tierra (MST) we were able to come not only to Brazil, but also to Ceará (a state in the northeast), where we were able to do a version of the play of our Cucarachita Martina,” Cremata told Prensa Latina.
He explained that, with the children of a very far away school, in particular with the elementary school children of Quixeramobim, in the Sertão Central region of Ceará, “we were able to stage the first act of the Cucarachita.
With an emotive expression, the founder of La Colmenita acknowledged that the experience was “the beginning of a path, which proved fruitful in other countries”, to use art, mainly theater, as a pretext to form values in everyone, children and adults.
But, he emphasized, “the most important thing is not the staging with the school children, who were immensely happy, but the fact that we worked with Brazilian educational facilitators, members of the MST, and they gave us hope that this way of doing things can be ramified”.
