The Teatro Real of Madrid and Teatro Español have joined, for the first time, in a cultural project staging the world premiere of Je suis narcissiste, an opera buffa by Spanish composer Raquel García-Tomás, on a libretto by Helena Tornero. The work denounces with humor the delirious narcissism prevailing in current societies. The project features a young team, although already consolidated in the Spanish cultural scene, that has set up a story full of freshness and black humor. The story tells how Clotilde, a cultural manager who encounters all kinds of misfortunes is overwhelmed by her daily life and the relationship with the diverse and eccentric characters surrounding her. The opera buffa aims at dismantling an obsolete idea of woman through the black humor of two contemporary women. Stage director Marta Pazos could count on the overflowing creativity of costume designer Pier Paolo Álvaro, whose colorful figurines support the plot, between reverie and absurdity, and shine under the lighting designed by Nuno Meira. All of them framed by the set designed by Fernando Ribeiro.
