"On the small stage of the Molière, in front of a space occupied by tables instead of chairs or seats, where the spectator can consume while enjoying the show, Delfina Braun performs No es mi planeta esta ciudad. The actress / singer has an excellent voice with which she interprets each of the songs that weave the warp of a story that involves her in a contemporaneity where the city is the stage. A statue of Helena, walks the streets and realizes how love is no longer the center of the universe, but that every relationship is given through technology, that is, people no longer see each other's eyes but have to communicate with each other means that produce an apparent contact, false intimacy that prevents the approach, which builds islands of a loneliness of different characteristics; a loneliness masked in the bustle of the streets, with the illusion of a superficial knowledge about the other. The actress, trained in New York, was able to soak in the musical comedies of Broadway, and take the tools to carry out her own work, an interesting one-woman show, with live musicians, and deploy with ductility the vicissitudes of a being that comes to life in a city and a different time. The songs weave a story about the vicissitudes of the living statue, who finds herself a stranger in an unknown world, full of questions and false choices, but which ultimately ends up being a territory to explore. Narrative songs that introduce us to the limit between the real and the imaginary, between the costumbrist look on the journey over the thousand faces of the city and its unnamedpossibilities, and the fiction of a character that comes from mythology and moves us to think about the confrontation between two worlds, in the perception of that being that sees with different eyes our naturalized everyday life. A musical unipersonal crossed by the fantastic and the romantic: a statue that decides to leave its pedestal in the exhibition and become a really living statue. A female character who crosses the fourth wall in the style of Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) and enters the world of the "real". A story crossed by constant humor, projected images and music in a unique experience that immerses us in a world where the limits are not precise to make a critical look at our current social and individual behavior. A theatrical musical event where the supernatural - the statue of Helena by the City of Buenos Aires - is the basis of the story and upon entering our hectic city tries to escape the anonymity of the big metropolis, thus making us reflect on our current life experience. With ductility the protagonist humanizes herself before our attentive gaze while she is accompanied by the group of musicians, and they form a solid ensemble that from different artistic expressions converge in a fresh and simple but perfectly told story."
