In the same month, Jorgelina Auzzi premiered the series “Menem”the family movie “Mom’s boyfriend” and finished shooting the second season of “Coppola, the representative”. If this seems a lot, they think that last year it was part of that theatrical phenomenon called “congratulations” and that on the day of “rest” it did functions of its only one “human animal”.
And if in “Menem”, a sbaraglia lavish wonders “What will the petis have?”, The presence of Auzzi in several of the greatest recent successes leads to another reflection: “What will Jorgelina have when they summon her, which will have that actress who makes the audiences crazy?” An unstoppable talent and the gift of giving humanity to all its characters. Auzzi is our queen of comedy
News: In “Menem” his character is called Amanda, he has a yerba name, more Argenta is not achieved. How did he delineate him, considering that unlike Carlos Saúl, Zulema or Cavallo his “Amanda” is fictitious?
Jorgelina Auzzi: (He laughs) I hadn’t thought about the name of the grass! The truth is that the fact that he is not a real character to some extent gave me freedom. I based myself a lot on the accent, on doing well, with respect. I gave much importance to speech so that the character had truth, to tone, to idioms. But on the other hand, what interested me most was to work the curve of Amanda’s ambition, see how power operates on people, how they react when they have it regardless of the other, how the wildest individualism arises.
News: And everything starts with small gestures, right? Was that mutation driving was something rich from the acting?
Aruzzi: Yes, because it is as you say, she as soon as she has a little power begins to mistreat her seamstresses! Then I had fun to tell the change of personality that arises with money and influence peddling … until the situation is unpaid.
News: You are chasing the dressmakers and amia, I remember your work “The Woman of the Green Dress”, where she made a seamstress who was going to look for fabrics to eleven on the day of the attack …
Aruzzi: It’s true! The dressmakers, the amia and the tunes. From “Educating Nina” I am persecuted by the tunes! (laughs)
News: Speaking of that Rioja tune so particular, how did they do with Juan Minujín not to be tempted?
Aruzzi: It was not easy, what happens is that making a tune is complicated, the fear of ridicule is great. While we had a coach on the set we also sent many audios in Shiojano (laughs). I tell you something, with Juan we have a bond, our daughters are intimate friends … So everything that was the plan of the girls talked to him in Rioja to train type: “He will go through Aiá, he goes to look for her” (he makes the tune). With the experience that I had in “Nina”, seriously speaking, we worn it a lot because they are our brothers from the different provinces, if you make a Ukrainian, the Ukrainians do not come to complain about kyiv’s tune, but here you have to be very careful and loving.
News: With Juan they had already shared “100 days to fall in love.” With Griselda “Educating Nina”, “Pure Blood” and “Congratulations”. Working with friends changes work dynamics?
Aruzzi: The truth is, it changes a lot. Let us add that with Juan we just finished recording the second season of “Coppola”, I make Corina his current wife. Whenever I am going to start something, it gives me nerves, stress, until I think my job is to play. If you play with someone you already know and with whom you have many things in common, stress leaves and only fun remains, as when you were a girl and invited a friend to your home. In addition, if they allow you to play with a director like Wino (Ariel Winograd), which lets you add, that gives you all the freedom to tell the scene, I love it. Because that can be done thanks to trust. The one I have in my colleagues and the one I won in myself over the years.
News: Why do all actors want Wino so much?
Aruzzi: Look, for me Wino has a uniqueness that fascinates me, handles tragedy and humor at the same time, it is a magician of climates, you just have to get into the pool and let you carry. As if that were not enough, it is a divine, humble, funny, it’s all. There are also his voice and his jogginetas … (laughs)
News: At the time, the idea of a series about someone as controversial as Menem did not seem to generate much consensus. Few these new nineties recharged?
Aruzzi: I was always against Menem and everything that is a selling economy, but if you compare it to the present, Carlo is winning. Menem never insulted anyone, is more, intended to seduce his adversaries. I remember that Astor Piazzolla said: “Menem wins and I leave the country.” Well, he joins eating with Piazzolla and Astor not only stays, but hugs and supports him. They are very different personalities, very different ways of exercising leadership. Today it seems that nothing matters, it doesn’t matter if you have a political career, even if you know how to read. Now we are standing at the extreme of individualism, I think they are the 90s, but exaggeratedly impute.
News: In that menemist seduction, could any will be read for dialogue, of a truce that now does not exist?
Aruzzi: Menem said to have the solution to all our ills, seduction is a sample of power over the other, today we are facing a different type of demonstration of power, the issue is no longer seduction but aggression. I think this is good to rethink the 90s to open the debate, to remember how it was to privatize everything, something that has already happened and did not work, not to forget the disaster and unemployment it generated. People seemed hypnotized, but how we could believe in convertibility, right? When a society wonders how certain things happened it is good to look at them again to understand.
News: Did you expect such success with the series? He dominated the agenda of all media for a month. We even had a part of that event when the famous news cover with María Julia Alsogaray generated the “cover” between Graciela Alfano, Susana Giménez and Graciela Borges!
Aruzzi: Oh yes. You didn’t save you! (laughs). Everyone saw her and generated conversation. National fiction always contributes, people support, the public bank the Argentine series. Whenever a well -made Argentine series comes, it has its impact, we are waiting for the opportunity to see, find and identify with our stories, I include myself. In this case, even if you are in favor or against Menem is our history, it opens debates and that is good. I think it was also very seen in other countries because the series is based on how power crosses human beings and corrupts them, beyond the local color of Menem the public connected with a universal issue.
News: Speaking of the human condition, if a guy is ambitious he is a career man. But if a woman is ambitious, she is a villain. How did the ambition of Amanda work, his character?
Aruzzi: In principle, never judging the character. I think Amanda is thirsty for her family to do well. In general there are always men’s stories and the woman is on the periphery, we are still thus, that a woman can surrender to her ambition seems interesting to me to tell.
News: From Shakespeare here, ambition is the engine of many tragedies, why can’t we escape repetition knowing that we are condemned to end badly?
Aruzzi: Unfortunately we continue to repeat, not only in the political, but also as human beings. There is a periodicity of the disaster, some said that with social networks out there I would not have lasted so much menemism. I doubt it, today there are wars and a lot of things that nobody avoids despite being informed 24 hours a day. I believe that it is the opposite, today a photo like the caudillo on horseback is viralized in minutes, the networks provide material to build the truth that you choose to believe. A truth to measure.
News: That the last question of place to fantasy. If I could make your own series about a character in Argentine history, what would be and why?
Aruzzi: Look, if we talk about popular characters, I think it is the ideal time to make the series on standard Plá. A woman who today replicates in the claim of the retirees who are going to fight for their own and for us too, because their fight is for everyone’s future. Norma Plá seems to me someone super important, a person who was very “bullying” at the time, ridiculed, taken by joke, but made his way in a very difficult time both socially and economically that today seems to be repeated.
