In the song Star by the group BROCKHAMPTON, Kevin Abstract raps one of the most interesting verses of the century: "Bruh, I don't fuck with no white boys, 'less that n**** Shawn Mendes". The whole song talks about fame and celebrities, but it is this verse that pushes Romeo Gomez Lopez to develop The Woke Zone.
La Dimensión Deconstruida (The Woke Zone) is the staging of a fanfiction developed from the verse mentioned at the beginning of this text. With the help of puppets by Kevin Abstract and Shawn Mendes, we are presented with a play in three acts: celebrities meet in an elevator after an awards ceremony, and under the influence of alcohol and curiosity, end up having sex and breaking with their personal notions of monogamy, desire and the expectation of compulsory heterosexuality. It is this last concept that becomes most blurred during the play: at first Shawn Mendes is defensive, speaking publicly about the damage done to his public image by rumors of his alleged homosexuality; however, in private he is uninhibited and even skilled in the arts of sodomy.
