José María Muscari to the rescue of those who dedicated their lives to act although the public does not know their name

“What attracts the public is for these actors to waste talent beyond their lack of popularity. The public, knowing that they are +60, has special empathy for these artists who dedicated their lives to the world of show but were not touched by the magical wand of recognition ”, says José María Muscari, Creator of “Irreverent” And four other works that he has on stage holding record of permanence on the poster.

“Irreverent” He presents his second season at the Teatro del Pueblo after being the most watched in that room last year and tells the story of a group of people who confess unprecedented things, speak lost languages ​​and sing songs of young people who do not know or pronounce. You can see on Saturdays and Sundays.

Muscari It also presents “Sex” in the Gorriti Art Center with 6 years on the poster, the one with the greatest permanence after “Toc OCC” since it included virtual functions in pandemic. In Holy Week it premieres “Sex, the work”, A spin off with text theater that will tour with Diego Ramos, Julieta Ortega, Nicolás Riera and Gloria Carrá.

The director continues with “Lostly” until Holy Week in the multiteatro, which combines neuroscience with Alzheimer and presents from April 4, “Mirtha”, the myth “, A tribute to Mirtha Legrand With 15 interpreters. He had his premiere at the Libertad Palace with Natalia Lobo, Julia Calvo, Vanesa Butera, Belén Pasqualini and others.

We talked with Muscari about the peculiarity of the original proposal it brings “Irreverent.”

Journalist: He began as a call from the DGEART for senior citizens, how was it?

José María Muscari: They told me that they thought of well -known senior actors or actresses that for some reason were expelled by the middle and that when I put them in a work they returned into circulation. But what about what were never known? There the gene of this work emerged, where 500 older professional actors and actresses emerged 60, not famous, I did casting in 2 weeks and chose the 27 with which I mounted “irreverent”.

Q.: What did you find among your cast?

JMM: Actors and actresses of a lifetime with a lot of training and awareness of the theater off is already knew from somewhere but did not know where. Advertising, movies, novels, he is from the Pocha waiting for the float, the neighbor’s daughter; through the actor who makes Panchero in envious of Griselda Siciliani; he who made the Báez cartonero in the Monzón series; Cirulaxia actress; The actor who was double Pepe Soriano throughout his career. Many life stories in relation to acting.

Q.: How did you structures dramaturgy, based on those stories?

JMM: He had coordinates, wanted a self -help group that nobody helps because they are excessive and in emotional prolapse, which expose everything, and that armed the culture broth around irreverence. It is a punk show, little elderly, the strain of my teenage son appears, which helped me with the sound band that has nothing to do with these grandparents. He is a fan of Duki, the band has music from him, Carol G, Emilia Mernes, María Becerra, thunder, nothing to do with the elderly.

Q.: What did you find in the stories of these forgotten actors?

JMM: The stories have to do with the activities they developed in parallel, there is the woman who adopted daughter being great, she was bordering the 55 years; Someone who is dedicated to the world of opera, a former greengrocer who survived like this and with the performance, added to the fact that the vast majority have a rocker, punk side, acted in the Parakultural.

Q.: You tend to the mass casts, why?

JMM: I have good mass management and, like “Sex”, it has many actors on stage, the other one I did with many was “Bollywood”, obviously I have a fluid poetic with what has to do with diversity on stage. It is a kind of patchwork and accumulation. In my Epectacles it is a leit motiv or author brand where this diversity generates the possibility of juxtaposing stories.
