Spic for Export (2002)

"Spic para exportación" de Susana Cook, es un espectáculo unipersonal sobre la memoria de las fronteras de la vida. "Spic" es el insulto étnico que se le llama a los Latinos e hispanos en los Estados Unidos. En esta pieza, que explora las fronteras entre el mundo "interno" y el mundo "externo", la muerte aparece como uno de los elementos de la vida. El espectáculo está organizado en una serie de monólogos que describen la jornada de un personaje en búsqueda de Dios, la Justicia, La Verdad, La Amistad, El verdadero amor y el verdadero género. La protagonista termina encontrando fronteras del cuerpo social, mientras busca un trabajo y trata de sobrevivir el mundo corporativo. Esta pieza incluye el monólogo de Cook "Lemon Cookies" (Galletas de limón).
