As part of the relaunch of the opera Alchemywhich is presented at the Mar del Plata Auditorium, Grace Borges ensures that decided to permanently move away from the cinema to have the syndrome burnt, the same creative crisis affecting some Hollywood personalities. This is what you said in an interview with the Telam agency.
“I suffer from burntlike Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt,” said the actress, in relation to her recent shoots which produced feelings associated with “work fatigue”. burnt It is a special type of work-related stress that, in addition to physical or emotional exhaustion, involves a lack of sense of accomplishment.
Graciela assures that the shapes and duration of the shoot have a lot to do with it. However, she admits that her last two films about her, the tale of the weaselsdirected by Juan José Campanella, and The calmby Pablo Trapero, he liked them but they gave him “a lot of effort” and for this reason he would no longer participate.
A movie star
Inspiring muse of Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, the great diva of Argentine cinema boasts a long career on stage and on film sets thanks to her talent, with which she has won dozens of international awards.
the protagonist of The swampDuring his career he toured, among others, with Leonardo Favio, Fernando Ayala, Raúl De la Torre, Alejandro Doria, Lucas Demare, Luis Ortega, Diego Kaplan, Lucrecia Martel, Daniel Burman, Marcos Carnevale, Mario Sofici, Manuel Antin and the Spaniard Vincenzo Aranda.
-How do you decide to undertake a tour, a show or a new film?
-I’m testing what I enjoy doing, having fun in the deepest sense of the term, doing things well and not frivolously. And have fun. I’ve already quit movies.
Why do you say you left them?
-I got very tired in the last two films I made. I loved them, but they were very difficult. I shot with Campanella and Trapero, just before this insect that humiliated us so much.
Is it a final decision?
-Decisions are never very firm, but I think it will cost me a lot. I’ve had movies where I’ve played so many different characters, so many great things, award winning inside and out, but when you have such a special career it becomes very difficult to choose again.
-What must a screenplay have for you to choose to tell that story?
-It’s rare that you get a script you like, that you have no idea you’ve done it before. Let it be something different, something to know. I like meeting characters that I have to discover, rack my brains to find out how they walk or how they talk. I had wonderful screenwriters, now Aída Bortnik comes to mind, who was a genius and told Argentinian stories like no other.
Hasn’t something like this happened lately?
– What I want is to feel like this. Ana Katz recently called me to play a small character in a series that she is doing with Carla Peterson and other beautiful people, and she convinced me. I had fun and enjoyed it, but it was only a few days.
-What things make you tired of filming?
-I suffer from burnt, as happened to Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt. What does something like “get burned” mean? This happens to many of us. Having to film and think “again at night”, “again 17 hours of shooting”, “again repetition of texts”.
Hasn’t this happened to you before?
-Directors don’t use good old film; with all this they can now innovate and do whatever they want simply because it doesn’t cost them.
“Mar del Plata gets better every year”
-As a viewer, do you still enjoy watching movies or theater?
-Always. In the theater season, as in the cinema, I find divine, incredible and accomplished things. Maybe there are things you don’t expect much from, made with a fifty mango, and they give you a lot. And others that it is better not to talk about.
-How do you see this season in relation to the repercussion of the works, the general artistic proposal and the public response?
-I couldn’t go out to see many operas because I’m taking care of my health and my voice for the services. But I discovered it, as old Borges would say, and I know that the proposals of the people of Mar del Plata have been very thoughtful, which is no surprise. There really is a lot to see, so much so that I don’t know if there is an audience for that many works.
-What is the particularity or the charm of having a summer season with the public on vacation?
-I am very happy to do theater in Mar del Plata because it has always gone very well for me and I haven’t done it for many years. It’s a city that my mother always chose for her holidays, which is why she fascinates me enormously. We also go on vacation to Uruguay, and I love Uruguayans, but they are completely different and beautiful places.
-What is special about Mar del Plata?
-There’s no need to fall into crude comparisons, it would be like comparing the horse with the car. What do you need from one you don’t ask another, even if it goes so fast or that the other has blood. I see Mar del Plata thriving, beautiful and busy. Better every year.
-Do you think that after the pandemic the audience’s relationship with the theater has changed?
-No, I think not. When people get love, they give love. At first they were dazzled because reviewing a show was a miracle, but now I see a calmer audience. Argentine is a big audience. We must be proud of it.
-In his social networks, he daily shows a close relationship with his granddaughter, María Jesús. Has it been modernized for you or for you?
-It’s funny because I always tell her that I know a lot about social networks and she answers me “oh Grandma Excellent“But recently he called me on the phone and when we had already started talking he said”You better separate your phone from your face, grandma, because this is a video call“She tells me I’m good, but that I can never get her right.
-Is your active role on Instagram, for example, just for your motivation?
-I do everything. The accounts are managed by me and I don’t get help from anyone, I have no secretaries. Yes, many people who work with me are creative, but none of them are my assistant.
-He made a post on the Lucio Dupuy case…
-Lucio’s was something I had to write because I felt it and it hurt my soul.
-How is your family life?
-We are very close. With Jesus I go everywhere, she is divine, humble, she has an extraordinary father and mother. We often go to the countryside to visit Patricia, who was the last wife of Juan Manuel (Bordeu), and we get together with her children, we are all a family. Hard to explain, but very close. It is a wonderful thing.
Reunion with the public
The iconic actress makes her debut alchemyto this Thursday. It is a proposal in which she shares her memories and anecdotes through poems, music, audiovisuals and photographs, accompanied by the voice and guitar of Adriana Barcia, directed by Borges herself. Four shows until February 12 in the Sala Astor Piazzolla of the Auditorium Theater.
“It’s not just a show, it’s a coming and going of people with their stories. I do this show together with the singer Adriana Barcia, who is fantastic and reminds me of Mercedes Sosa,” he explains.
“We tell stories of poems, songs and my life, but it’s a commitment to tell things that are true, not triumphant. Everyone talks about the wonder of the couple, of the awards, but I like to tell the opposite,” she says. “I really want to do it and meet the public again.”
