“Being adults, he had to deal with this disease and I wanted to be by his side at all times, like when he turned around on the bike and I was always there,” says Cecilia Carrizo, who wrote and stars “I just wanted to tell you,” sole proprietorship dedicated to his brother Martin Carrizowho died two years ago as a victim of ALS.

Journalist: How did the need to transform pain into work arise? Is it a biodrama?
Cecilia Carrizo: It is an autobiographical work that tells the chronicle of my life, includes poems dedicated to my brother Martín, and songs that were part of our shared path. From Sui Géneris, The Grandfathers of Nothing, Charly and some composed by us. Everything I experienced with him since I was born, I tell him in a letter. I have been writing for 30 years and getting on stage, performing songs, plays, this time I am getting on stage to tell what a great example Martín was for me.
Q: What is this story of illness and resilience?
DC: Martín faced an illness that exposed him to extreme situations, however his dignity, his values and inspiration to face life transcended the limits that the illness imposed. I tell that too.
Q: There is a question about whether you are an assassin or an ally to take him where he wanted. How is that?
DC: There are words and expressions that are part of the poems, I don’t want to take them out of context to explain them. I would like you to come and see the work, interpret it and complete it.
Q: How did that sibling relationship transform from Rocky to Heidi, to adolescence and then into the adult world?
DC: Martín and I played a lot, we rode our bikes, we listened to music, he taught me how to play soccer, we did everything together. At one point in life, when we were young, our paths came together, we worked on music for five albums. Our relationship was very close and beautiful.
Q: How do you assess your career, from Caramelito with Nico Repetto to today?
DC: I am very grateful for everything I experienced artistically and professionally. The most beautiful thing is the bond that was established with those who accompanied me so many years ago and continue to do so today.
Q: What is it like being alone on stage? Abyss, loneliness, completeness?
DC: Adrenaline always. That bond with the person who is accompanying me from the audience means that I don’t feel alone or in an abyss.
Q: What is it like to do theatre today? How do you see culture?
DC: The theater is going through a very complex situation, like so many other areas. A harsh economic, political and social reality. The scene and the culture are made up of those of us who, with seriousness and vocation, give everything to sustain ourselves despite the circumstances. In this, which is sometimes so difficult to follow, I appeal to those who can value it, without trivializing our work.
