—Both the plot and the subject of this creation inevitably push the spectator to reflect on his or her own existence. In other words, the play makes us think about how our treatment of nature and one another have led to an uncertain and dangerous future.
—The play is told through an agile staging, with successions of images, settling in a universally recognizable world. A single, large scenic element is used to explore its various forms, turning it into an object with multiple meanings, capable of telling numerous stories. The performers constantly interact with the device, in a narrative projection of actions and images that contribute substantially to the development of the show.

A story about the miseries of a society that is extinguished by its own evil undoing, set in the Bolivian town of Antofagasta in the late 1800s.
Based on the novel by the journalist and writer Patricio Jara, Dios Nos Odia A Todos (God Hates Us All), the play is set in Antofagasta in the late 1800s, then part of Bolivia. The nascent community suffers with the appearance of a plague that devastates the town. In between desperate prayers and pleas to a wrathful god, the plot immerses us in the miseries of a society that is extinguished as a result of its own evil undoing. Death, misery, stench and loss of faith are mixed with the love and assertiveness of the protagonists who watch everything around them fall apart.
The versatility offered by the scenic device, designed as a unique object on stage, offers different narrative possibilities. It is a mutable element that transforms itself according to what the story may require, and which guides the actions of the characters. The sound effects also contribute to the generation of the atmosphere and stimulates the journey of the show.
Dios Nos Odia A Todos is an outcry over the extinction of the human being.

— Porque la historia y temática de la creación empujan inevitablemente al espectador a reflexionar sobre la propia existencia. En otras palabras, pensar sobre cómo las acciones del ser humano hacia la naturaleza y entre las mismas personas, han llevado a que el futuro sea incierto y peligroso.
— Porque la obra se cuenta a través de una puesta en escena ágil, con narración y sucesiones de imágenes, instalándose en un mundo reconocible universalmente. Para esto se utiliza un único gran elemento escénico que permite explorar sus diversas formas, convirtiéndolo en un objeto poli sígnico, capaz de contar muchas historias. Las y los intérpretes interactúan constantemente con el dispositivo, en una proyección narrativa, de acciones e imágenes que aportan sustancialmente en el desarrollo del espectáculo.
