In Precarizada, Josefina Gorostiza characterises the precarious balancing act of the artist. While she gives her all on stage, the auditorium is filled with the voice of actor Nicolás Goldschmidt. Together they sketch out the meandering path of every creative. The juxtaposition of dedication and passion versus a paradoxically insecure future comes to the fore. A race against time develops. Gorostiza pushes her body to the limits, seemingly untiring – but at what cost?
