Marina Zucchi 0 The vulnerability of Dalia Gutmann is like the raw material she uses to craft her comedy. It’s the essence that she molds into the stories she shares on stage. While it may seem a bit harsh on herself, her ultimate goal isn’t self-centered; instead, she celebrates imperfection, contradiction, human complexity, and absurdity. For Dalia Gutmann, humor equals destigmatization.
“Experiencia Dalia Gutmann,
” directed by Mariela Asensio at Maipo Theater, offers a seamless and entertaining voyage into the mind of this comedian who rose to fame through her wit and mood swings. From her own experiences, she strategically targets women going through perimenopause (the transition towards menopause), though her show is inclusive of all audiences.
With a whirlwind of thoughts, Dalia effortlessly transitions from estrogen drops to collagen boosts, from the analog era of beauty standards set by Vicky Fariña to her Bat Mitzvah. She unabashedly spills out both the struggles and richness of femininity and gathers thousands of women in her audience. Yet, her mission extends beyond just women; she aims to enlighten men present about hormonal reasons and countless misunderstood aspects of womanhood.
“
Her rapid-fire delivery mixes, conglomerates, stirs up, dismantles, then pieces back together thoughts with such fervor that it solidifies into a successful stand-up act.
”
Some may label her monologues as empathetic or “
sororal,
” while others might interpret them differently. However, Dalia always clarifies that her purpose is to laugh at herself and make others laugh at the messiness and disorderliness of life. Chaos becomes her natural order.
From societal body expectations in the ’90s to marital plateaus, from the fantasy of re-entering the dating scene to consumerist illusions promising life improvement—Dalia delves into motherhood dilemmas, raising glass children generationally sheltered from hardships; Capricorn astrological signs; Luis Miguel fandom; chaotic families versus others… Her audience actively engages as she polishes away self-anger.
“
Dalia never hesitates to physically engage with the stage—dancing around or crawling on the floor—relying on bodily exaggeration when words fall short for overflow.
”
She continues embodying a role that she consistently emphasizes is not about being a loser but about baring insecurities in a world where people compete for Instagram-perfect lives falsely. While it may seem like self-flagellation or excessive punishment at times for Dalia with intense introspection onstage—it’s more like an exploration of human nature rather than self-torture.
“
Dalia Gutmann mirrors retro laughs at adolescence in the ’80s and ’90s with minimal props—a pink armchair, a water bottle—that shift focus onto storytelling rather than elaborate sets.
”
As always reiterated both offstage and onstage: Dalia presents herself as “
a neurotic wanting to sing an ode to life.” Despite consistently navigating internal conflicts in her narratives—the levity brought by humor lightens not just hers but also spectators’ burdens.
Upcoming Show: July 9th at 8:30 PM – Teatro Maipo (Esmeralda 443).
