NUNCA DIGAS ALGO SERIO DELANTE DE UNA PLANTA DE PLASTICO

There are certain places where it is expected from us to behave properly, politely, but above all things to be shallow.
It is some kind of an unspoken agreement that if by any chance is broken, leads to a terribly awkward situation.
If one were identified as the author of such situation, one might immediately be pointed out as an “order disturber” or even a “persona non grata” (all of this, of course, without speaking).
In that kind of environment, it is quite easy to find a certain amount of common accessories, such as:
Smooth, perhaps new age music, gossip magazines, conditioned air, etc. But specially, and playing the protagonist roll, plastic plants.

Because of all this reasons, I would highly encourage you to: “Never Say Something Serious in Front of a Plastic Plant”.
On the other hand, and talking about seriousness, I can not think of a greater example of a serious mood for speaking than Hamlet. Most particularly in that famous and perhaps overexposed soliloquy: “to be, or not to be, that is the question…”

Is there a more serious way to talk about a particular subject and, is there a more serious subject to talk about?
Hamlet and Plastic Plants are quite opposite features of our world.

“Never Say Something Serious in Front of a Plastic Plant”, is a performance piece that intents to bring this two ideas together in an uncomfortable, strange, and perhaps rather absurd situation, playing with the idea of places and situations where the “politically correct” sets the rules to a ridiculous level, and Shakespearian “existentialism” stands as the cliché of a taboo.
Death, and life meaning (or lack of it), “passionately” articulated to a symbolic element, by a symbolic character.
Deep and well known questionings spoken with coolness and absolute lack of real analysis.

When a social, spiritual or political wound is swallowed and digested by the media, it looses its power, its deepness of meaning, and becomes a tamed beast that can be contemplated behind bars without fear.

“Never Say Something Serious in Front of a Plastic Plant” is, more than a reflection, a mere portrait of these things
