This show appears in an 80’s disco scene, from the literary and biographical universe of Susan Sontag and Patty Smith. I could say that these two universes intersect timelessly with my own biographical data, I, who am Tristana, the name my mother would’ve given me if she hadn’t chosen the one that designates me today.

While creating this play, I get prominent questions like: When did everything start to change? What is my place in art in this society where we sometimes live too trivial? Is Tristana a combination of Patty and Susan or have I always been Tristana even before myself? Where does transcendence begin? Is it in love? Is it in art? Is it in Rock and Roll?
