I was watching this and thinking to myself, "No, he didn't... he wouldn't... oh, he did." Hysterical and creative. - Ricardo Salcedo ( El Arte de Lavar Platos ) 
Well thought out. 
Haha... very funny... crazy stuff! You've got some good actors there. Edipo rey rules! 
Real funny, and smart. I like the idea of not having dialogs for storytelling. And the music score vocally "played" by actors is brilliant.Stephane Calce
