“There is still a fantasy construction of what the life of a trans person is, which does not capture all of reality in fiction. There is more LGBT+ presence but there is still a long way to go,” says Marian Moretti, who opens on sunday “Juira 2, with what need?” sole proprietor written next to Diego Reinhold, on Paseo La Plaza.
The trans actress participated in several series and films such as “Love after love”, “Palermo Division” and “Among men.” We talk with Moretti.
Journalist: You come from doing a lot of audiovisual work, what is it like standing on stage, without a network and alone?
Marian Moretti: The theater is where I feel most comfortable, where I have the most traffic, and being there is the closest thing to meditating. It is something of absolute consciousness with elevation, it cannot be explained unless it is lived. It is a super exposed place but at the same time of great containment and a lot of freedom. I am alone in the execution but super accompanied by the team and the public that finishes completing.
Q.: It promises self-confidence, histrionics, versatility, humor, music and surprise, also irony and absurdity, what is the show like?
MM: It dismantles moments of my life but without being autobiographical, the stories are told but from where it is time to live them. Humor is the tone, there are criticisms of aesthetics, the media’s treatment of certain issues, especially trans issues, and it has a lot of tenderness. The bond with men, what happens to the body when one grows, changes, what we acquire with experience, the habits that change.

Q.: How did the story and the co-writing with Diego Reinhold come about?
MM: I had written this second part, I had already done the first, I wanted to modify it a little and the production company joined in and proposed incorporating Diego into the direction. We didn’t know each other working and at the second rehearsal we saw that we were writing something new together.
Q: You worked for important series, how was the experience?
MM: It’s another code, tone, language, everything super attractive. The first time was for HBO, “Among men”, without having done any training on camera, after that I decided that I had to prepare more with proposals for those who direct. Then more series, movies and shorts appeared. Being in front of the camera has an intensity that I didn’t know about.
Q: What is the difference between working for local production companies and international platforms?
MM: I don’t find a very marked difference between local and international, especially at this time when the channels do not make fiction and it is in the hands of the platforms.
Q: Do you feel that today there is more room in cinema, series, theater for the LGBTQ+ community?
MM: There is more space but the spaces that are opened are self-managed. Large productions are incorporating transvestite, trans or non-binary identities but it is still not enough and they do not reflect all the stories of identities. As if it were still a fantasy image of what the life of a trans person is like, which does not capture the entire reality. There are few stories in which I feel identified and can say this is my life or it would happen to me. There’s still quite a bit left.
