Through the Clown Play Mazorca, we seek to invite the audience to gather and contemplate the silliness of a female Clown trying to enjoy a traditional food: corn. The play outlines the importance of this food for health, nutrition and culture, contrasting this with some of the problems that could threaten its cultivation, consumption and preservation. It emphasizes the great richness of corn, and the potential it contains for the cultural subsistence of the communities who share its farming and consumption.

Playing between clowning, contortion, singing and dancing, the character of the play shows the actual relationship existing in our society between food and nature. In a very funny and absurd way, she demonstrates the negative impact that a genetically modified seed can have in the organism, contrasting it with the vitality inside a natural and local product, the corn. It is an invitation to recognize the power and beauty of a healthy meal, and it evidences the importance of planting native and organic trees, fruits and vegetables.

This Play uses the Clown in an attempt to give humor to some of the aspects of food production which-far from wanting to nourish-destroy the earth. This is the case of huge Amazonian terrains deforested because of genetically modified farming and cattle industry. The clowning of the play is a reflection of the real concern for food sovereignty in Latin America. Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of local agriculture and alert the population about the danger of genetically modified seeds for the human body, the earth, and the economic independence of local people.
