Real/show is based on the book The 101 most influential people that never lived, about the fictions of the most popular characters and the phenomena associated with their success: the values they disseminate, the influence they exert, the products they sell or the bad effects they have. With a format close to that of a documentary, in real/show all the characters shown (from Dracula to Cinderella, from Zorro to Bambi) have the face of the ‘documentarian’. This show was the origin of another: O Duplo.

The music and lights announce the start of a big show. A man in a dinner jacket enters, stops and remains motionless until the end. Only the light that falls on him, the soundtrack (songs about characters performed live by two singers) and the video that serves as a backdrop to the entire stage will change. In successive sequences of scenes taken from dozens of films, characters are described, ordered to be killed, honoured after their death and finally, in a 20-minute sequence, shown dying. O Duplo is a distracting suspension around the possibility of the character, or the potential otherness of the actor.
