Is it Eartha Kitt or are we dealing with a personality disorder. The story takes place in the 1940s in America and in the present day, in Portugal, where a young non-binary singer is inspired, reflects, lives and expands. The search for their own artistic identity, the fear of death, the intense dialogues that we find in a universe of oppression, violence, industry. The play delves into the life of the protagonist as she faces the pressures of fame, questions their cultural roots in a globalized world and the importance of redefining artistic success in personal matter not just commercial terms. The piece is amplified with electronic music, synthesizers and live Jazz. An intimate space, a pub, and an experimentation cave is created using a device that integrates live musicians as a way of leading and accompanying the performativity of this figure throughout the narrative and immersing the public in these different layers that is the life of an entertainer.
The American dream, entertainment, who chooses what survives, who is the artist if not the one who encounters life, who are we trying to entertain?
