Je suis narcissiste
Teatro Real, Teatro Español, Teatre Lliure
2019
OPERA BUFA
It seems a more than propitious moment to talk about narcissism. That narcissism that floods everything; the one that enlarges our perception of ourselves and pushes us to do everything in a big way, even though we have very well forgotten the reason why we do it. Starting from an uncompromising black humor, Je suis narcissiste introduces us to an organizer of cultural events who lives each day as a race of obstacles that stand between her and her happiness.
Events overwhelm her and people leave her plunged into a feeling of loneliness. Lovers, pets, bosses, elevator operators, artists, or undertakers seem far more interested in talking than listening. Faced with such a tasty breeding ground, a trigger, in the form of a dead cat, will suffice for the emotional collapse to arrive. Overwhelmed, she arrives at the office of a psychiatrist who embraces all kinds of theories just as eccentric as he is. Both will travel together through a transformative experience (or not).
