“The things I know are true,” of the Australian Andrew Bovelldirected by José Luis Alvarez, It is one of the miracles of the Off’s billboard that exhausts weekly locations and captivates an audience that arrives thanks to mouth to mouth.
What are our absolute certainties? And what do we do with them? In a suburban house, with a small garden, a middle class family faces the passage of a decisive year. Through the material metaphor of the course of the four stations, the growth and change of four brothers and sisters will be condensed, and their links with their father and mother. The empty nest, frustrations and what could not be.
The cast is made up of Pablo Gelós, Catalina Luchetta, Paola Muratorio, David Paéz, Teresita Fill and Agustín Tellechea, Those who show up on Sundays, at 19.30 at the muse’s dressing room. We talked with Gelós, also a renowned series screenwriter as “Iosi, the repentant spy”, from Amazon, and “Spartans”, Disney
Journalist: What attracted you to this work to want to be part of and why the public likes it so much?
Pablo Gelós: I knew the director and I was attentive to his proposal, I saw that the work was excellently written and had a lot of dramatic power. It was also a challenge for me that was not accustomed to such dramatic papers because my formation had been for humor and comedy. Here there are small sparkles of humor to relax but it is very strong. This work is Australian and it went very well in Europe so they decided to face it. The public likes the dramatic power, it goes stick and stick, does not take respite, everything that looks catch for something, and touches issues that are difficult not to touch someone.
Q.: You were a “iOSi” and “Spartan” screenwriter, what is it to write for the platforms, “to ten hands”?
PG: I write for screenwriters for very large series. It is very difficult for those series to be written by a single person, they are always large teams, for example, in “iOSi” we teamed with two and we had a headwriter, Sebastián Borensztein, and also a showrunner, Daniel Burman. It is a process where we are asked for specific things, the project is explained, it is discussed in a group and advances. It is a very long process with many corrections and returns, many opinions on the table, and that is generated by the high quality of a script as “iOSi”. It was great because they nominated her twice consecutive to the Emmy so she was in New York.
Q.: And Spartans?
PG: He was locked because there were no scripts that convinced us, they called us and although he had prejudices with the rugby theme, when we understood the story and met Coco, the real character in which the series is inspired, we threw our heads, we saw the potential of redemption message and at the same time caught at a suspense and emotional level. Our job was to choose that of everything we heard merit to be part of the script. And always, all scriptwriters although we work under commission we have the dream of telling our own story.
Q.: How do you see work at the Independent Theater?
PG: There is no country in the world that has the amount of theater groups in Argentina, surely there are about 50 proposals on Mondays. For some reason that Argentines do not understand the theater and the independent is something very hard to carry out. It requires a time wear, the economic one does not count it, if it does not lose money, it is done, and there is a need to show, tell, express, link with emotions of the way only the theater can achieve.
Q.: How do you see theater and culture?
PG: Argentina was always a privileged country and today despite the crisis there is a huge need to tell stories, interpret and analyze them. We take it in our DNA.
