Cena show is the portrait of a fantasy where some peculiar human-like beings are enjoying a feast of lobsters while a giant diva is performing a show and some others play roulette. It is inspired in Macao, a special region in China where gambling is legal. There, almost everything is covered with shopping malls, casinos, pawnshops, and giant towers where the workers live. I have always felt something unsettling about the way we humans live in this planet. Since a while ago, especially after my trip to China, my work delves mainly into that issue. I am very worried about the environmental crisis and the social inequality processes that get stronger every day. At the same time, I find something about the humans’ naivety that brought us here quite ironic. Cena Show is a piece that emerges from a mix of feelings and invites to reflect, from a critical point of view, but with the humor and bright aspects that characterize my work.
