How does pop culture permeate our life? This question seems inevitable watching Lamento, a romance in which a couple quarrel with the help of Micheal Jackson, Beyoncé and many others.

Staged as a musical, refined and witty, Lamento meditates on how pop culture, slowly but surely, is colonising our souls.
