Synopsis
Cristal is a recycler woman, and wannabe Pop Star. All her clothes, her house and her life are made up of garbage. Her mind, behavior and heart are conditioned by the model of beauty and female behavior that she has been obliged to correspond to.
The protagonist of the play delights herself in a delirious plastic game which hides a dark disease, a psychological disorder, a great sadness that not even Lazaro, her loyal companion is able to console. This play is a channel of transformation for the character and its interpreter, and also for the spectators.
Miss Plastic is a decree of liberation from false ideals, a shout of poetic battle against all the different forms of gender conditioning. It is an invitation to women to shout, fight and dance for a healthier way of self-understanding.
Miss Plástico es un instrumento pedagógico para niños y adolescentes en tanto desvela algunos de los patrones mediáticos que incentivan al consumo a través de la homogenización de la imagen femenina. Esta obra es una invitación aceptar la pluralidad de naturalezas y constituciones de los cuerpos. Es sobre todo en la vulnerabilidad de la pubertad que es importante afianzar el amor propio y la confianza en sí mismo. Para esto el Arte, el Teatro y el humor son un grandioso instrumento.
