'La Author of them girls’ Ernesto Caballero. Carmen Machi in Teatro Lope de Vega, Seville

In the not too distant future financial crisis shaking Europe requires the Spanish State to divest its artistic heritage. Faced with the possibility of selling Las Meninas, It is charged to a famous nun copyist make an exact replica of the original Velazquian. From that moment, religious is going to be caught at a crossroads of diverse interests, while will undergo a sudden transformation of his personality: humble artisan brush it will become a media star unexpected world of visual arts.

The author of Las Meninas is a dystopian comedy in which corrosive humor with issues such as the increasing abandonment addressed by society of all interest in any artistic or humanistic discipline. Meaninglessness of an activity in unproductive principle is finally assumed shamelessly and enthusiastically by the discourse of new political formations self-proclaimed leftist and progress, now in power. And there is not only contempt, as in actual reality, but an open questioning of work and expense to all unnecessary lights from a new conception of social welfare.

The work also exposes, of satirically, the egomaniacal self-absorption of much of the most innovative and committed creation in recent years, and the trivialization of the artistic experience turned into a massive media event in tune with the major theme parks mass entertainment.

The author aims to share the interest with which contemplates the amazing realities that is generating the indiscriminate democratization in all spheres of human endeavor, the collapse of the autoritas referred to art and knowledge, the advent, Finally a new paradigm which locates and compares the same canon an accomplished meringue souffle made on television by a renowned confectioner and, let's say, Mozart's Requiem.
