FACTA, NON VERBA o MONÓLOGOS DEL HACER (FACTA, NON VERBA or Monologues of Doing)

FACTA, NON VERBA o MONÓLOGOS DEL HACER (FACTA, NON VERBA or Monologues of Doing) is a dramatic text built around two opposing monologues on action, productivity, willpower and resistance to doing. The first character, Yimbro the Stoic, articulates a satire of contemporary motivational discourse: body worship, success mindset, extreme productivity, self-optimisation and the rhetoric of “just do it”.

Opposite him, Jaiper the Dispersed embodies a more erratic, digressive and anti-productive drift, where laziness, postponement, affective memory, verbal excess and resistance to closure function as alternative ways of relating to action.

The text thus proposes a tension between action and delay, discipline and dispersion, efficiency and experience. Through humour, parody and a writing style crossed by cultural, philosophical and popular references, the piece questions the contemporary logic of performance and its tendency to turn every vital experience into a task, an objective or a form of productivity.
