Carlos Monzón, Rodolfo Walsh, Eva Perón. Every time a series wanted to portray Argentine myths of the twentieth century, the figure of Diego Cremonesi He took a central place in the story.
Charismatic presence, of those actors who leave their mark on each character they make up, is also remembered for their contribution to emblematic cycles such as “a rooster for esculapio”, “The marginal”, “El Tigre Verón” and “The Bronze Garden”.
He was part of remembered films such as “Kryptonite”, “Red”, “Invisible” and “The Trees Affairs”, titles that allowed her to give free rein to her versatility and flee from the types.
The replacement of “Reverse”a theatrical journey that had him living as applause wrapped in dreams, allows the dialogue of Cremonesi with news, in a rainy afternoon conducive to the talk, the slow reflection and the confessions made when passing within the dynamics of the conversation.
News: How is the new season of a work proven as “reverse” faces, there is more tranquility or adrenaline is the same?
Diego Cremonesi: With fewer nerves in relation to the uncertainty of how the work can come out, but that does not take away your anxiety for the result, it is a difficult time in the country, complicated for people. That the public comes to the theater is not so simple, I am expectant, but with all the desire because it is a work in which I enjoy acting. It does not always happen to find a material where you feel that you can deploy and do it with your classmates, “reverse” generates a lot of enjoyment.
News: You came to work when during the essay stage Marcelo Subiotto had to get off. Did that give less time to prepare?
Cremonesi: Yes, I had less time than the rest of my teammates because I had to get on a train that was already moving. It is a work that has a big difficulty especially from coordination, I feel that it is very circus, juggling, the timing it requires is very difficult to achieve. The action system proposed by director Matías Feldman is very demanding in terms of rhythm and you have to find how to be genuine, provide something of your own.
News: Something that is good is that “reverse” rescues the spirit of the independent circuit and takes it to Corrientes Street
Cremonesi: I think that is its value. Although it meets many requirements of the commercial theater in terms of rhythm, entertainment, the duration is already short of an attractive cast, on the other hand it does not have the classic story of a lighter comedy such as those in the commercial circuit but it bothers the spectator a bit with its format and its dramaturgy. In the Independent Theater one has in favor the possibility of investigating more and it seems to me that “reverse” is quite brave because being encouraged to Corrientes with such a work implies taking a risk. It also gave us a spirit of camaraderie, the theater company, we are a cooperative and from that place there is a great sense of belonging with the material.
News: In the work he returned to work with Nico García Hume and Marco Antonio Caponi, how was that reunion after “El Tigre Verón”?
Cremonesi: Barbarian! I am a little for frame here, are those half magical things that sometimes occur, one day I called it on another subject and he said: “How good your call because I have a work …” They were desperate looking for replacement for Subiotto and he proposed to me. With Marco and Nico we had hit very good vibes in “El Tigre Verón”, I love both as actors. With Carla Peterson I had never worked and for me it was a pending account, I always liked what he does, Juan Istola already knew him and is a great actor, I admired him, so it is a party to get on the stage with them.
News: He has worked with people as cool as Julio Chávez, Darío Grandinetti or Alfredo Castro, however, someone like Carla Peterson at first intimidates a bit?
Cremonesi: Could be. It happened to me that with all these people that you named I started to work in a big one, having seen them a lot as a spectator, but quickly humanized. Especially a person like Carla who is great, at the human level he is barbaric, then the second already realized that I was with someone who is a couple. At the end of the year I filmed with her “The Time of the Flies”, the series that Carla stars with Nancy Dupláa, I feel her friend. I do your husband again, we never have a very healthy or normal relationship.
News: You were “El Cuis” in “The Marginal”, the character hit a lot and also his songs. Did a music producer approach him to offer him?
Cremonesi: No, and I would like! I always have something pending with the musical, in fact Quique “El Cuis” resonated a lot because for 20 years I made a character of Café Concert called Paco Rimenver, singer and showman, with whom he has a lot in common. I always say that Paco was my patron because he gave me a morfar, banned my formation as an actor and sustained me while working to hit it. “The cuis” is a character in which I could manifest myself, I had the power to experience the horror and terror of a guy who does not belong to that place, but also had the ability to act for someone in uncomfortable contexts, something that I had made millions of times. Imagine that I acted on birthdays, marriages, fifteen parties, end of the year parties, teacher’s day and even in prisons. Paco Rimenver became in the Gorina de la Plata jail and in the Olmos, one (laughs) was not lost.
News: Is it more intimidating to act in a prison or in a marriage?
Cremonesi: Both things! Because it is very difficult to act for someone who did not pay an entry to see you, the weather can be hostile, you have to entertain them. That forms you, gives you a lot of trade and training.
News: From what he said it occurs that this training is not always doing “Hamlet”, but what is the best of being an actor?
Cremonesi: I tell you that one of my first works was in the Republic of Children, I made a pirate, as a father of Hansel and Gretel, with a chickens and all in a year. It was my first salary after leaving the mail to dedicate myself to being an actor, so I won my first mangoes. Living with uncertainty and lack of constancy in this trade is very difficult, but one pays that price because just the best thing to be an actor is to act, at that time everything makes sense. Obviously there are the family, my children, but I recognize that if I am not connected to what I am going to do, studying characters or thinking of acting I enter crisis.
News: And now what projects are waiting?
Cremonesi: In addition to “The time of the flies”, in Netflix, I have a series with the China Suárez that is going to be called “Daughter of Fire”, there are 22 chapters, we spent six months recording it, they are also Eleonora Wexler and Jero Bosia in the cast. It was a spectacular experience, I had a barbarian character, I want to see it, it is quite close to the classic strip, it is a new bet of platforms as a format. I have another series called “Impaptada” that took a long time, but it is from Paramount and as it left the country it was hung, with an uncertain future, it is a shame, the protagonist is Maite Lanata and for me she was very good, I do not lose hope that she looks. It is also going around a series that we made for Disney with Daniel Hendler called “Los Mofas”.
News: His wife is also an actress and have two children. Do you see any acting heir?
Cremonesi: Yes, my wife, Noe Vergini, is an actress and teacher, together we have two children of 9 and 3 years and I also have another son of 20. Regarding inheriting the trade, hopefully no, I say it for them! (He laughs) My baby is very character, but from there I want to be an actress, I don’t know, the smallest is very with football, he is a footballer to the handle …
News: And did you get students like you?
Cremonesi: That is not an choice, it is an obligation! (laughs) At home we are all clicks … except my wife who is gymnastics, but we talk about entrance. I said: “All I want is to go with the kids to the court, please do not dispute the picture of the boys,” and he accepted it to me.
News: Suppose Christopher Nolan comes to Argentina and wants to eat with you, but not a restaurant but at home. Do you make a roast, cook something your wife or ask for pizza and empanadas?
Cremonesi: Nolan Pizza bought, no! Christopher, I have come to you! (laughs) We go with a rib, I put it all there, chorizo dike, pork breast. It would be an incredible thing to act in a movie of his, in one of the greats, I take him to La Plata, I show him the Republic of Children, the forest, the planetarium, everything.
