“Sex Symbol’s nickname seems to accompany me all my life, I think I am no longer, today it seems that there is a nickname for everything. I live the possibility at this age to do an acting job and develop it” says Silvia Pérez About the woman who plays with Arnaldo André, who composes a man with Alzheimer’s. “Maturity gives the opportunity to make characters like this, being young would be different, it is what one expects, to call him to do different things,” holds André.
Together they star “Don’t forget me,” of Hernán Krasutzkythat debuts on Sunday at the Picadilly Theater, with functions at 18.30.
It tells the story of a lonely widower of a good time to have an asylum to see the facilities and move when he is intercepted by a rebel resident who seeks to escape his confinement and invites him to an appointment in order to fall in love and help it in his mission. We talked with the actors.
Journalist: What attracted them to the work to want to be part?
Silvia Pérez: I liked it to call me Arnaldo to do a work with him, I liked the play, return to the commercial theater after doing these years of alternative theater.
Arnaldo André: It seemed like a well -written text and the character gives me the possibility of doing something different from what I did. He has a catchy dialogue, he has humor and deals with the theme of Alzheimer’s.
Q.: What were interested in the script?
SP: They say deep things in natural tones, it has to do with the treatment of the old between quotes, which happens to people over time, as they are treated, as seen and how they are considered.
Q.: They embody ripe characters through a disease, how does the conflict attract the public?
SP: It seems necessary to me and I like that the public can see me otherwise, as an actress who will turn 70 years old and it is good to make characters that have to do with my age, beyond how they see me physically. The theme impacts wonderfully for giving rise to the subject that is not spoken, in culture, in art, in the theater, the audiovisual, is not talked so much. The key is to treat it with humor as something everyday, it is good to find humor in what happens to us in life, that side B that costs to find, something sad and not desired. As Gasalla said, humor is generated from a tragic situation, it is the position that one adopts in front of life. It reflects on the passage of time, where we are going to arrive if God wants to be an old person as they say in society, but the beautiful thing is that it is spoken from love, the importance of love in disease and life itself. Not to mention the elderly.
AA: The public will not feel rejection on this subject because the characters are nice, my character does not have an advanced Alzheimer’s, his memory comes and goes from the beginning, he can interact, that will attract people, nobody will feel a negative impact.
Q.: How did the work grew with the essays?
SP: The trials are very fun, there is a lot of catering, coffee, mate, avocado, nuts, they serve us wonderful. We seek in that coexistence to develop the characters, that’s what creation is about. The trial process is the most interesting, then stopping on stage you do every night but creation is the most beautiful.
AA: The theater has that wonderful that TV does not, which is something more ephemeral and there is no time to rehearse. Here we relax, we laugh, we know each other more and the work grows.
Q.: How do you see theater and culture?
SP: The theater is our great exit to continue working in a difficult process in the country. The good thing is that there are many theatrical productions, there is self -management and the wonderful thing is that people keep a money and go to the theater, which shows what art nourishes us as a town and will always be. The theater will demolish all difficulties and continue.
AA: The theater was always magic, it is unique, many actors who do not have the possibility of going to TV, because there are no more soap operas, we find in the space and public theater that supports us. People want to go see their actors in person after we accompany them so many years and hours on screen.
