Trapped by loneliness and a complex romantic relationship, Daniel tries to take refuge in the writing of a new novel. However, the creative process overflows: his desires and personality bleed into the fiction until they materialize, blurring the line between what is lived and what is imagined. An intense piece about literary creation and identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe play follows Daniel, a novelist with two published works, during his time in Chicago as a visiting professor. Far from his usual environment, loneliness and distance from his partner plunge him into a personal and creative crisis. To cope, he immerses himself in writing a new novel, a process that becomes an escape route and, progressively, a trap. As he writes, he transfers his own emotions, frustrations, and longings to the fictional characters. The plot tightens as those fictional elements begin to take on a life of their own, altering his perception of reality and leading him to a point where the distinction between the author and his creation becomes unsustainable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe conflicting relationship between reality and fiction in the creative process.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe writer's solitude and voluntary exile as a trigger for introspection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe identity crisis and the search for the self through writing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDesire and personal dissatisfaction as a driver of artistic creation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe materialization of fiction and its consequences in real life.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work is aimed at readers and theatergoers interested in contemporary Spanish theater, as well as students and professionals in the performing arts.

Rodolfo Sirera constructs a concise but highly dramatic work, where the border between the author and his character becomes blurred in a progressive and fascinating way. Its main interest lies in how it addresses creative anguish and loneliness not as mere themes, but as active forces that modify the protagonist's reality. It is a solid and reflective proposal, ideal for an audience looking for a theater of ideas, with a polished formal execution and a central conflict that invites reflection long after having closed the book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"INSTITUTO NACIONAL DE LAS ARTES ESCÉNICAS Y DE LA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53405055254875,"sku":"9788487797019","price":5.01,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978848779701.jpg?v=1781822092","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788487797019","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
