“And sometimes a carambola suddenly shows us that we have achieved it.” That is one of the phrases of Captatio Benevolentiaethe song of the malel group that sounds, in its original in Catalan, in an important scene of House in flamesDani’s film of the order that has been a success in Spain, especially after entry into the Netflix catalog, And that has eight nominations for the next Goya awardswhich will take place at the Granada Congress and Exhibition Palace this Saturday, February 8.
One of those nominations has resonated strongly in Catalonia: the candidacy, for the best leading actress – and that several forecasts give as great favorite – of Emma Vilarasauwho plays Montse, that excited mother because she brings together her whole family in her incredible caseoplón in Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava. This is the second time he opts for the big head Sant Cugat del Vallés actress, born in early April 1959and that, however, it can be more unknown to the public who does not speak Catalan.
Basically, because Vilarasau is a great lady of theater in the northeastern Spain, to which we must add that He has lavished less outside his homeland and even less in the audiovisual medium. Because outside the tables, in fact, he had not done for almost 15 years – his last film, which obtained very good reviews, Els Nens Salvatgesis 2012, and, on television, Ventdelplá2010, although in the series Be or not to bedirect to RTVE Play – and has recognized that, for its role in House in flame, A casting had to pass.
“Let’s see, if they make me pass a casting for the theater, I wouldn’t do it. But I haven’t been audiovisual for a long time. So, no matter how good an actress that is or not, Dani [el director] I needed to see me, and I find him very normal, “he confessed to Direct chronicle In June of last year, where he already complained that the projects “or fall or do not fall”, as well as that “Very few things are written for women.”
“I hope that is changing, because we have things to say and because you will all get to this age and there are no referents. We have referents of teenagers, 30, 50 … from 60 and peak, the thing begins to decline . We have all learned to kiss with cinema, for example. But do we have a reference for old age? No, each one invented it, “he added.
And it is curious that a woman who has not ceased to work with the best can say that, she knows that, about the tables, it matters less than what you have to say. He learned it from a young age, when at age 15 he points to the theater group Maragall, a Sant Cugat theater group where the bug of interpretation entered. Although he abandoned the objective for a time to study teaching, Finally, shortly after Franco’s death, he returns and ends his studies as an actress.
Since then, a career practically without a macula, in which he has interpreted works by Bertolt Brecht, Harold Pinter, Tennessee Williams, Luigi Pirandello or Jean-Claude Carrièreas well as working with the best playwrights, playwrights, interpreters, directors and directors of the Catalan theater scene, receiving many recognitions.
And that, which, as she herself has recognized, did not like it excessively and has had to continually suffer the patriarchal look on her body, because “the Vilarasau”, as it is known in Catalonia, has no hair in the tongue in the that to issues such as feminism refers, being answered with the system, as he demonstrated when he collected his award at the Feroz Awards.
“I have tired not to like it. In adolescence I had a bad time. I considered myself fat, I looked horrible … It’s something that lasted for years. Then I have made many diets. I still do them, but now I know that you have to accept old age, That the body loses and changes a lot. You have to assume it, accept it and live it well. Nothing happens to have wrinkles. It is sad that people get rid of 40 when they are 60 years old. It is a skinny favor for women. We must not deny this stage that is part of life; Nor scare you. Old age prepares you to assume that the end will come, “he replied to The avant -garde.
In fact that growth and acceptance of the body, also the foreign, was the basis of a declaration of love that made her husband, the actor recently Jordi Bosch, with whom forms one of the strongest and most venerated marriages of the Catalan artistic landscape. “What I love and adore my partner is every wrinkle, his whole body, because I have seen it aging by my side, because I know where they come from, I know where they have come out, I know why he has them. And they are part of me “He said in the Pódcast The Turra.
He acknowledged, yes, that between them they have passed experiences “of all colors and very beautiful, both good and bad”, but that those moments have strengthened their link, qIt has also resulted in two children —Hebos around 30 years and also artists, “Jordi, the firstborn, opted for the world of music, living on horseback between Barcelona and London; and Marc, the little one, carrying the interpretation in the veins.
“When I see it [siento] pride. At first I suffered a lot, because I thought: ‘If it doesn’t work I will have to say, although I don’t know how.’ But it is for. It will be more or less luck, but it has wood “he said about him for the aforementioned Catalan newspaper. Something very remote, perhaps, of what his character would say in the film that can give him his first Goya this Saturday.
