It was powerful to see so many Janitors men and women unapologetically saying Ya Basta! to sexual assault and violence in the workplace, open my eyes in to many angles to realize how we abuse to each other in different ways just because is funny, because somebody is different, because somebody looks attractive, thank you to all this brave actors to help me open my eyes with this powerful play. Ya Basta!!!... full review

Despite obstacles and adversity, they have persevered and won victories that reverberate beyond the janitorial industry. This is the inspiring story of the incredible things people can achieve when they come together in a union.... full review

This has been an authentic theatrical collective creation, under a good direction. It was really impressive the way in which the routine of an apparent passive and slow scene ... monotonous from real life, with the sudden appearance of violence -first verbal and then physical, of the predators that have ambushed their prey; it was a theatrically powerful, strong and painful scene that leaded various almost to the tears.
