In 2017 she started playing ''María'' in ''"Todos Santos",'' a theatre monologue written by ''Mónica Perea,'' directed by ''Sixto Castro Santillán,'' and music performed live by ''Ariel Torres.'' "''Todos Santos"'' is the story of ''María,'' a domestic servant just about to leave to her hometown's party. While she prepares her boss´ dinner, she tells us what made her run from her town and why she must go celebrate her departed relatives in the ''Day of the Death''. In between honest laughter and unbearable pain and tears, "''Todos Santos"'' talks through several important harsh facts that indigenous people live in Mexico everyday, from the entrance of drug traffic to the forced displacement of their hometowns. "''Todos Santos"'' rapidly became a great success in Mexico City after being presented in all major theatres between 2017 and early 2019.
