The Sullana-native actor has a successful adaptation of a Latin-American classic amid his highlights, and bringing that art inside his hometown.   By Nelson         Peñaherrera Castillo   Every word has power. I’m not talking about divinity, neither metaphysics. If you can read aloud the first sentence of this paragraph, and you can vary the tone or the intention, it’s possible you notice it. It’s better if you are alone, not to avoid others doubt on your mental balance but learning to hear yourself in the silence, and discovering what your communication skill is.
