Abstract
Pulí Pulí is about smudged makeup, old promises, and cheap wine. Under the big top, the tamer grows old, the clown conspires, and the magician calculates. Outside, the audience applauds without knowing whether they are attending a show or their own funeral. The Perfect Lunch is a fierce fable about power, corruption, and laughter as anesthesia. A text that dissects the machinery of deception with a scalpel of irony: governments that behave like buffoons, peoples who worship their executioners, and leaders who turn the truth into a magic trick. In six acts that mix satire, tragedy, and lucidity, we seek to construct a distorted mirror where farce and politics become confused until they are indistinguishable. Each character—the tamer, the clown, the magician—embodies a face of power and its inevitable rot. Between lights, applause, and blood, El almuerzo perfecto reveals that the most dangerous spectacle does not take place on stage, but in the conscience of those who prefer to watch and remain silent. A brutal, poetic, and necessary work. Because when laughter replaces thought, the circus does not end: it has only just begun.
