Si eres un estudiante de teatro, un amante de la dramaturgia contemporánea o simplemente buscas una buena comedia, "Besos" es indispensable. Su estructura de escenas cortas hace que sea una lectura rápida y amena, mientras que su temática universal garantiza que cualquier lector se sienta identificado con las peripecias de los personajes.
In this book I set out to explore the kiss , a ritualistic act , and a psychological signal . My aim is not to catalogue every possible variation—there are as many kisses as there are people who give them—but to illuminate the common threads that bind them together: desire, affection, power, and the ever‑present yearning for connection.
The climax of "Besos" is not a happy one. Alberola often pivots to the kiss that is not given—the kiss that could have saved a relationship or a life. This tragic turn elevates the piece from a cute list to a tragedy of missed connections.
Alberola’s work is characterized by a unique blend of intellectual humor, existential angst, and deep humanism. While he is famous for comedic works like "Teràpia" and "Usted está aquí," it is the monologue "Besos" that has transcended the stage to become a viral piece of recited prose on YouTube and social media.

A diferencia de los grandes musicales de Broadway, Besos utiliza la música de una forma más íntima y paródica. La obra recurre a canciones populares de la cultura pop y romántica en español (baladas de los años 70, 80 y 90) para que los personajes expresen sus frustraciones emocionales. Esto genera una conexión inmediata con el espectador, quien reconoce las melodías y se identifica con la situación sentimental de los protagonistas.
