This stage production, initially conceived as a monologue, evolved into a dialogue due to the artist's physical dependence. The presence of Daniel Bayona became crucial to the staging, transforming the work into a conversation between the two performers.
The show explores the body's limitations, as well as the freedom that words and humor can offer. 'Hablar no sirve. De nada' avoids self-pity, navigating between irony, social critique, and personal exposure. Bob Pop reviews his own life and professional journey, from supermarket cashier to television critic, using this path as a starting point to discuss failure, the desire to escape external affection, and the need to provoke discomfort.

The autofiction in the play connects intimate themes such as love, sex, the passage of time, and the acceptance of life in all its complexity. All of this is presented with a sarcastic tone and cultural references from the author's universe. The production also incorporates songs by artists like Betty Misiego, José Luis Perales, and El Niño de Elche, blending pain, comedy, and a critical perspective.
Bob Pop and Daniel Bayona previously collaborated on the series 'Maricón perdido'. On this occasion, they share an hour and a half of scenic dialogue in a work that has completed two seasons in 2024 and 2025, and is now continuing with a third.
