Chimpanzee's Concert

The scene of the chimpanzee playing the old guitar that he found and spontaneously started giving a concert in a landscape with Havana in the background, surrounded by animals that enjoy music, symbolizes the harmony and universality of art. It represents how creativity transcends differences and unites different beings in a shared experience. The guitar, old and abandoned, takes on new life in the hands of the chimpanzee, reflecting the power of art to redefine the forgotten and turn it into a means of expression and connection.

The Festival of the absurd

This surrealist work is a satire of modern life, where animals represent human contradictions. The zebra smoking a banana stem reflects absurd leisure; the monkeys and flamingos drinking and smoking show purposeless hedonism. The monkey eating chili to heat water symbolizes useless sacrifice for immediate pleasures, and the one milking a snail to feed a fish criticizes the exploitation of the impossible to sustain the unsustainable. Altogether, it questions our priorities and shows society as an "absurd zoo" of excesses and contradictions.

Teachings to a Sloth

An orangutan is patiently teaching his student, a sloth, how to play the guitar. The chords attract many interested animals coming to see. At the same time, another impatient and jealous student of his is angry and watching behind. This moment captures a small scene in the surrealist world where intelligent animals have their own civilization.

The Goat Master

A community of gifted animals is enjoying activities in their own way and freedom. The chess master does his perfect move in the game and creates debates amongst his companions. It is a brief glance at the culture of the species living in their world.

Checkmate

Checkmate is a world dominated by pigs where the question of life and death is not determined by violence but by a chess match. Just like animals using their very own creative intelligence.

Chimpanzee's Concert

A chimpanzee found an old and abandoned guitar and started to play the music while other animals accompanied him enjoying the melody. This took place in Havana as implied by the Capitol building far away behind. Depicting the theme of an animal concert is part of Reydel’s passion as it represents a happy scene and harmony amongst animals.
