TÍTULO DEL SOCIODRAMA:“El espejo”

Scene 1

It is Monday and it is seven in the evening, the family is having dinner and watching the program of the

Moment; they are sitting watching TV at the dining table.

Mr. TV: (Too enthusiastic and holding a board; wearing formal attire)

and entering with background music) Today is a great day to show my viewers the

secret of my success, the beauty in each of my programs, I have been the one who has

selected the best models, young talents that everyone should imitate

(in a nearly macabre voice) today is a day to show the true meaning of life... today

It will be the big day, I will meet my new members.

Miss Charm: (Smiling, perfectly made up and in a dress, very

striking) My Lord, here is the list of our new participants.

Mr. TV: Thank you very much, miss, a delight as always, let's see… (He goes)

mentioning the names and the young people are getting closer) César, Maritza. Good

Good afternoon beauty and handsome young man, I offer you a warm welcome to this reality world,

they have been selected for their excellent skills, not general knowledge, no

they need higher education, they know how to subtract, add, (in an ironic tone) the operations

basics... (Extends a sheet towards them and has them sign the respective contracts).

The young people thank the opportunity by bowing and saying thank you.

César and Mariza showcase their talent, dancing to the rhythm of the song of the moment.

The scene pauses, and Juliana pensive.

Juliana: How I wish I could be like her, she looks so perfect, I don't think she'll ever be alone,

surrounded by people, by admirers, by men who court them at every moment,

surrounded by details. No, I don't think they eat the same as I do, obviously, this is

full of fat, how disgusting!, (he gets sad and closes his eyes), my God... I wish I had the

a little less than what she has

The scene of the family dinner resumes.

Father: Thank you, it was delicious, you are undoubtedly the best cook my love!

Mother: Thank you for the compliment! (Addressing Juliana) You, finish the meal, that

just in case!

The parents leave the dining room, the young woman stops to look at the plate of food and takes it to the

sink and determined shouts:

Juliana: No more of this! (She heads to her room), Friday is Martha's fifteenth.

I'm going to see what I put on, (tries on several pieces of clothing) No, this doesn't fit me, it doesn't...

the other one stays, takes his phone, and chats on WhatsApp. (The dialogues appear in

scene, she worries and searches online) "I want to lose weight, I hate my body?" and in

the list of answers shows what she was looking for.

Juliana goes to the room and looks at herself in the mirror

Juliana: I am very fat, to be perfect I should lose about 15 kg.

Mirror: you are right, the people who don't love you tell you that you are beautiful and intelligent, well

Lies, those of us who love you will always be honest. Has it happened to you that you ask them?

Do I look fat?

once again they lie, I tell you the truth, you don't look fat, you are fat, but, hey,

Wait… If you become my friend, you will stop being one.

Juliana: Then everyone lies to me, if when I look in the mirror I can see the truth,

because others are not honest, because they claim to see in me something that I am not, beautiful?

Mirror: Your friend is right; people gain weight because they eat, if they stop eating the most

It would be logical to stop doing it, I will help you, don't worry, I know you can do it, I trust in your

willpower, we will start little by little, so slowly that you won't even notice...

When you can tolerate fasting without complaining about dizziness, we will start by stopping
eat all those little treats you used to have, then we'll add a bit of healthy food, and

Lastly, you're just going to stop eating. If you happen to eat, it will be very little!

simply enough to keep you standing, I know you can, we will begin

little by little, everything is a process, when you can already endure fasting without complaining about the

dizziness. We will start by stopping all those little treats you used to enjoy, then,

we will add some healthy food, and finally you will simply stop eating.

If you eat, it will be very little! Simply enough to keep you on your feet.

Rest and gain strength, tomorrow we will start!

Scene 3

(At dawn, Juliana wakes up happy, grateful to life for having found the

solution for your problem, the parents have had breakfast to go to work, the mother shouts

from the bedroom door of Juliana.

Mom: Breakfast is served, are you hurrying up?, don't be late, bye we love you

Juliana: Day 01, I'll take the basics, a little juice is fine for today, but this bread with

chicharrón, oh how delicious… ah, I eat it… (the scene stops)

Mirror: Wait, what are you doing? Drop that! You're smart enough.

Just so you know that bread has calories and those little pork rinds, a kilogram of

fat

Juliana: Not at all, I can't stop eating overnight.

Mirror: You are right, this is not a one-day battle, and it is not for the cowardly, go ahead if

that's how you want it... eat that (with a look of disgust) and then don't complain about your fat,

Remember that food is like art... it exists only to be admired.

Scene 4
Juliana's parents work all day, so the only moment they can

to converse is dinner, their relationship is not conflictual, the parents despite the absence

they are attentive to her, do not argue at home, usually go out on weekends

shopping, out for a walk, but the fact that there are no arguments is not enough, always

that emptiness exists, there is a great loneliness at home, it does not suffer from economic shortcomings,

but during the afternoons... Juliana feels intensely alone in the middle of her house

silent.

Juliana: (monologue) I started a new lifestyle like this, I didn't eat everything I used to.

putting it in my mouth, during recess I only drank water, chewed a gum, the best of all

It's that my parents worked all day, so I can only eat salads.

desde el día 01 todo está mejor, ya no estoy sola, el espejo es mi amiga, han pasado

Four days since I entered this porcelain world. Finally it's Friday!, if this

the plan doesn't work, I will eat again, my belly is demanding it... but if in reality

el plan funciona. ¡No me rendiré!

Mother: (angrily) Juliana, finish your plate or you don't go out, do you understand?

Juliana: I am full

Mother: full of what, if you don't eat anything, we come back from work and everything stays here, the fruit

on the table, the yogurt in the fridge... what are you eating, huh?

Father: Listen to your mother!

The parents look angrily at their daughter, waiting for her to start eating (She stops

one way for what you've eaten today not to add up in grams; everything is possible, princess!

Juliana eats everything, thanks her parents for their concern, and goes to her room.

Mirror: (approaches her and energetically orders) Vomit!

Juliana obeys and tries on the dress that Marisol had lent her.

Juliana: (Happy) I can't believe it! It fits me perfectly!

Father: Well, you can go to the party, you look beautiful daughter, how good you look!

Scene 5

It's Friday and Juliana attended Martha's quinceañera, looking stunning in the dress she has.

there they are complimented, and they are thrown catcalls.

Juan Carlos: ¡Qué guapa estás! ¿Quieres bailar conmigo?

Diego: Wow ladies, you are definitely the most beautiful ones at the party

The scene stops, the characters halt their movements and the lights go out...

Mirror: Do you see? Now you are becoming a perfect being, the most envied being of

this party, you are so stunning and you owe it all to me, keep it up princess, you have already stopped

to be there, always present in his mind, I assure you!

Marisol: Friend, how did you lose weight?

Juliana: I followed your advice, I stopped eating

Marisol: I found it very difficult, on the fourth day I wanted to give up on everything,

then I discovered a perfect way not to gain weight, I ate and ate but none of it

I would have to gain weight... I have a little trick.

Juliana: which one is it?

Marisol: (monologue) I wanted to stop eating, but how to avoid it if food is

delicious, the less I wanted to stop eating, the hungrier I was, but I refrained.

I was strong for a week, but my parents noticed, and by doing so, they started to

eat, I even enjoyed my three daily meals, but I enjoyed it more when I knew

that I wasn't going to gain weight, I locked myself in the bathroom and that's it... I would vomit... and by magic

everything disappeared, within two weeks it was no longer a matter of trying hard to vomit like

In the first few days, everything came naturally, I've been in this routine for a month now and I see with

joy in my achievements, my stomach hurts but I can endure it, I feel dizzy,

pero es tolerable… ¡todo vale la pena, verse bien es sentirse bien…

Escena 6
Narrator: Seven months have passed for Juliana, eight for Marisol, and during this

time, the fact of suffering from these eating disorders has deteriorated

considerably her health, in the case of Marisol, the parents know nothing since she

lives with his grandmother and she has not been observant enough to notice

that something is happening to her granddaughter, the grandmother focused on making sure that nothing is out of order

and taking care of her little grandchildren, she does not realize, does not suspect what Marisol is

suffering; in Juliana's case, the parents have decided to pay her more attention, they have

taken to the doctor, the doctor said that he has lost weight because he has been with a

stomach infection, caused by excessive consumption of yogurt, they gave her the

respective instructions and they had a serious conversation with their daughter,

they made the pact that Juliana should eat everything her mother would prepare.

but it didn't happen, it's too easy to deceive parents, a lie, throw the food

to the trash, pretending to be studying and that they already had dinner... the sudden weight loss of their

daughter, made Juliana's mother stop working, but things at home were becoming

unsustainable, arguments, so that she eats, sometimes to avoid those fights, Juliana

She was eating and then vomiting... by the fifth month they visited the psychologist and tried to help her...

but once not eating has become a routine, despite the need... food

returns repugnant.

Mirror: Dear Juliana, now I have you all to myself, now you hate your family, right?

What do you want a family for in the future then? I already took care of that, I...

questions how I did it. Goodbye menstruation! No more bleeding every month, and much

fewer babies in the future, you won't leave your children home alone, because you won't have them, nor

They will be able to blame you for your absence... because they simply will not exist, are you happy?

Right? What do you think? Losing your menstruation will not only help you avoid having babies... it's a

very strong hormonal change.

If you realize now, I turned you into a princess, that was the change you were looking for, but

not the princess you wanted, you miss your life, running, laughing, going out for ice cream with your

friends, going to the movies and eating popcorn, enjoying your favorite dessert... Wow, that really is something!

it was life!, now, you are a princess, a fragile princess, a porcelain princess,

delicate, light... deadly, look at your bones, you can't go for a walk... my world is you and

my world is you, I warn you that you will suffer from osteoporosis, and not to mention tumors

cervical-uterine! they cause very strong pains, but don't panic, now, all the

the clothes fit you, and they fit you very well, princess, everyone turns to look at you... and it's obvious because of your

beauty, there is nothing more beautiful than that which resembles death... death is

the perfect state is the state so longed for by those who are condemned to the

life, to the miserable life, the suicidal person seeks it because they believe they will be better there and arrives at

point of being sent to the beyond to stop being tormented or to stop tormenting, the

terminally ill wishes for death... death is the most beautiful state of life... the

final point.

Little porcelain one, you are so close to feeling no more pain, in that dark place to which

I will take you, you will not suffer, my little one, this path was for the brave and there is no being more

brave is he who makes his way towards his own end.

Now, you will need... makeup, yes, lots of makeup, because I made your skin become

pale, yellow, with dark circles... (the mirror caresses her) precious, nothing more precious than the

face of death... the cadaverous image of the end, and a lot of cream for your skin, well

It's getting very dry, isn't it? Sorry! But beauty comes at a cost. My recipe was this,

1 Cup of low self-esteem, 2 Cups of self-control, 3/4 cup of determination, 1 1/2

cups of strength, 2/3 cup of eagerness, 2 teaspoons of routine, 3 teaspoons of secrets and

lies, 3 teaspoons of guilt, a pinch of anger, and 1/2 cup of tears and mix it

everything with the pressure of the media, yes the media that shows you
the happy family, dream trips, calorie-free food… the means of

communication whose meaning of happiness is the classic pattern of beauty and the

enough amount of money for you to subsist consuming... once beaten

objective, they never had to stop eating, on the contrary they sought each other out

because I'm simply now me in your body… you won't die today… smile, paint that

smile of happiness...

You haven't completely lost your hair yet... but it will happen soon... don't cry, don't you

Micaela: I am Micaela, to look like this my life is dedicated to hours in the gym,

fat-free foods, a strict diet, a lifestyle that does not allow me to consume

one extra calorie, because if I do it, I will gain weight and lose my job, my body is my

work tool, the public's eyes are part of my billing, if they ask me

how I feel, I would respond that I feel like an object, like a beautiful painting that
