El cadaver más bello del mundo
Author: Chávez Castañeda, Ricardo.
Editorial: PROVISIONAL.
Ten girls and ten boys compete for what seems to be a lead role in a stage production: to play the dead person that will remain in a coffin throughout the play.
To get the part, they must go through a macabre test: pretend to be dead in an empty theater. During which, all await the final decision, while they lay motionless in their respective coffins that litter the stage, and before a judge that never shows his face, but who periodically disqualifies those who make the mistake of pretending to be alive. Little by little the contest will turn more confusing and sinister until it is clear that the children are “dying” for something much greater than a mere stellar role: to save a loved one.
