Narciso addresses the theme of the contemporary subject. This subject has been identified by some contemporary theorists as neo-narcissus. The production is the result of profound theoretical and practical research that seeks—through a simple and entertaining narrative, acting with strong physical accents, and sharp and corrosive humor—to engage in dialogue with our self-image.
A teenager locks himself in the bathroom. He has in his pocket the torpedo he wrote for a test. It describes, in ten points, the characteristics of a suicidal youth. The school aims to provide its students with tools for self-discipline. The teenager has decided to never leave the bathroom again; he is tired of his parents. In his boredom, he finds the torpedo in his pocket. In it, point by point, he sees himself reflected.
