A critique made by the political scientist and feminist writer Maria Firenze Freijo on the theater season has sparked the anger of Frederick Balprotagonist of Extravagant bootsone of the hits of the summer.
“The most watched theater show of the season is that of a man disguised as a woman, who takes care of ridicule us with cheap stereotypes. He has nearly 2 million followers. It seems that they can only bill them by fencing us off and the ones resentful after that are us,” Freijo shot.
Who took up the glove and took charge of the writer’s sayings was the son of Carmen Barbieri, who did not hesitate to make a statement in defense of the character he plays in Villa Carlos Paz.
“Thankfully I grew up in a matriarchal family. The strength and character of my grandmother Anita marked the passage of my home and my childhood. My mother was and is the heart of my family. Be a material and emotional provider. I celebrate these times of social change…” Bal said on Twitter.
“Because in these women I see the spirit of those 2 incredible women who shaped me. Comedy wise, I don’t cross dress, nor does the book try to ridicule women. The screenplay, masterfully written by Harvey Fierstein, is not only a Broadway classic, it’s about the celebration of drag queens, casting historically displaced minorities, and breaking with family mandate,” he continued.
“Since I was born my world has been made up of powerful women, drag queens, artists and displaced people who have come to have fun at home. All that I am. I invite you to see the work of the heart. There you will understand why the world loves Kinky Boots and from my place I personify “Lola” with the utmost respect”he concluded, in response to Freijo.
After his dismissal, the actor contextualized the reason for his anger to his followers. “So they know what I’m talking about,” Fede said and quoted Freijo’s tweet, which was also heavily criticized by Ángel de Brito. “How much ignorance in a tweet. This cotton pontificator does not know a musical comedy classic,” the journalist shot.
But the truth is that after the extensive defense and criticism of Flor Freijo, several users have commented on the driver of Rest of the world (The Thirteen) that the political scientist’s message was not aimed at him, but rather his critique was at work The Jenny, which is interpreted by the actor Wali Iturriaga and which in Mar del Plata is one of the most chosen shows by the people.
And indeed it was. Following this confusion, the writer herself replied to Bal clarifying the objectives. “Well, looks like I won’t be able to put the lock on ???? I just want to clear that up My allusion to the “man in disguise” is actually a bearded (not trailing) man in a wig, whose work they say is the most viewed in Mar del Plata.”
And here I quote the source. Sorry for the confusion, but you screwed up. Also thinking that he had put a lock on it. I want everything Ricky Paskush does to be angelic” Freijo told Fede, without wanting to confront.
And finally, he made it clear to Carmen’s son that he had even seen the play he’s in and loved it: “Fede, I love Kinky Boots and I saw her. Obrón. If you go to my Instagram, where I posted this yesterday, you’ll see that I was referring to a show called The Jenny. A man who reproduces all the stereotypes we want to banish: the crazy, the desperate housewife, the jealous, etc. Greetings”.
“There I read everything. It was a misunderstanding. The problem of not mentioning the person the missile is aimed at. There have been many coincidences. I put a lot of love and respect into it, that’s why I felt touched. I embrace, and my invitation is still valid”was Faith’s response, after believing that the malicious comment was aimed at him.
La Jenny, the work referred to by Flor Freijo and which confused Fede Bal
The show “Jenny…of course” performed by Wali Iturriaga, is one of Mar del Plata’s theatrical hits. The comedian is presented at the Neptuno Theater and in its opening week was ranked number one in ratings with only 4 plays performed in the week.
Eduardo “Wali” Iturriaga has become a phenomenon on social networks and his fame has transcended the virtual. So much so that it is a record for sale in La Feliz for his characters and creative posts.
The artist born in the province of Corrientes has nearly six million followers on Tik Tok, nearly five million followers on Facebook, nearly two million followers on Instagram and close to reaching one million followers on YouTube.
Due to the high demand for tickets to see the show, both hall owner Carlos Rottemberg and show producer Lucas Tamer have decided to add a new performance on Monday at the Teatro Neptuno in Mar del Plata.
