The monologue, with Pedro Henrique Müller, tells the ironic story of an actor who, against his own desire, ends up becoming an extra. From this moment, the play points to a cyclical abyss of metalanguage and repetition, resulting from an investigation of the effects of recursion (in particular the Droste Effect, the repetition of a smaller image within the image itself) in theatrical creation. Thus and so, the extra is invited to act in a play called “The Extra” which tells the story of an extra who is invited to act in a play called “The Extra” and so on.
