With remorseless black humour, Je suis narcissiste presents to us a cultural events organiser who lives each day as if it were an obstacle race full of snags and hurdles between her and happiness. We have here a critique of contemporary reality, the world where the ego inflates to such a degree that it invades all spaces, above all the virtual ones.

Press quotes:
Raquel García-Tomás triumphs with this accurate portrait of the kingdom of the cult of the ego and social networks. …finally we are in front a Spanish lyrical work that convinces, excite. This has to be recovered anyway. El Periódico, Pablo Meléndez-Haddad
Je suis nacissiste is an excellent opera buffa.
We have here a production of real quality. This shows that we do not need to fear present-day opera; we find the good music of Raquel García-Tomás, flawlessly professional, mixed and free, not confined by techniques or aesthetics. El Mundo, Tomás Marco
