Through everyday situations and ironic reflections, the protagonist questions love, attraction, and the decisions that have marked her sentimental life. With a light and biting tone, the play invites the reader to laugh at the deceptions of the heart and to rethink the truths we take for granted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVioleta, the heroine of this comedy, is going to discover many things. For example, that when a man puts on that barbershop cologne that smells like soap and cleanliness, it is when he most makes women think about dirty things. She will also understand that if she wrote her doctoral thesis on her admired Julio Cortázar, it was not because of the great man, but because of the big man: 1.93 meters tall. Or that a long, eight-year courtship, like hers, may actually be an inconsistent whim. Through these findings, the play explores with humor the distance between what we think we feel and what really moves us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-deception in romantic relationships\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe difference between real desire and romantic idealization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHumor as a tool to dismantle romantic myths\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe influence of physicality and appearances on attraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe critical review of one's romantic past\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is recommended for readers interested in contemporary theater, especially comedies with agile dialogue and complex female characters.
