In the original work of 1865, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll introduced caricature characters that reflected the Victorian society of 19th century England to make social criticism.. In this Alice in Wonderland, Arden Productions does the same, but with today's society, thus closing his tetralogy of political stories with live music (we will listen to Michael Jackson songs, Lou Reed, Pink Floyd, The White Stripes, Rolling Stones y ABBA, among others). Alicia is a very prepared intern who enters Wonderland looking for the plans of the new order and what she finds there is a string of absurd anthropomorphic characters that represent the different social classes.: a bought judge, a crazy cop, a mute countess, a useless cat, a bipolar rabbit, a polydrug addict caterpillar, a despotic and very flamenco queen of hearts… They make up an inept and corrupt society that privatizes basic services, practice nepotism, approves revolving doors and gives wide scope to fake news. “Your slander, that something remains”, says the queen, absolutely alienated. Actually, They are beings who have given up their freedom for fear of change., to lose order, discipline and protection, beings that function like a mirror in which we inevitably see ourselves reflected. Wonderland actually tells us about the here and now. By the way, at one point in the work, They accuse Alicia of having brought a virus from abroad and isolate her following an anti-virus protocol. Yes, yes, that fiction, many times, surpasses reality. S.M.
