Meanwhile, in his own environment he was accepted as something that is not weird. From here it appears there are two demands the development of theatrical tradition. The fans from outside the neighborhood wanted the maintenance of a distinctive style; are the fans from within their own environment, besides who wants to remain safe in the caresses of the style that has been very intimately known, there is also always wanted a development in terms of changes or additions in accordance with the "development age ".
