For this, he received a scholarship from the Festival de la Joven Dramaturgia, in which authors from Latin America participated and in which he made his way to new stages in subsequent years with his plays: Quisiera cerrar los ojos, Albercada, Añoranza en Clave de Sol and Papá está solo, winner of the fiscal stimulus for creation EFIARTES. He adapted Verónica Gerber's novel of the same name, Conjunto Vacío, which premiered in 2020.
