LA CIENCIA REGRESSA A LA CANCHA
Teatro Milix presesnts:
“BRASIL, BRASILEIRO, TITIRITEIRO”

Teatro Milix “La cienca regresa a la cancha” – my Spanish isn’t good enough to know what this actually means but my guess is that it’s something poetic about it being time to take everything they’ve learned in training out of the classroom and onto the football field.
