Rozalén, Luisa Gavasa and Nita are Chavela Vargas in the work that tells the last 3 days of the singer: “It is inimitable”

The artists María Rozalén and Cristina Manjón ‘Nita’ -Cocfounder of the band Fuel Fandango-, together with the actress Luisa Gavasagive life to Chavela Vargas in a new play, ‘Chavela’, which tells the last three days of the Mexican singer of Costa Rican origin.

“Chavela is inimitable. That relieves a lot, because it is impossible to approach her. Imitate the accent would have been a mistake. The beautiful thing about this work is that Chavela is the protagonist without being through all, of the channeling of each one and putting the point of art of each one. Thus the tribute is achieved, with much love and respect“Rozalén said during a meeting with media this Friday at the Marquina Theater, where the representation can be seen.

The three actresses give life to Vargas at different times of his lifeand while Gavasa “channels” the singer in the last days of her life, Nita and Rozalén-both debut for the first time on the tables-the role of Vargas as “myth” in a play in The one that, although the music is “central”, is not a musical, as explained by its director, Carolina Román.

Although Gavasa, who thanked the theater after “so long”, It is “opposite” in many things to Vargas, He stated that he has been reflected in matters such as “loving and not being loved” or in the suffering that the Mexican lived in fighting, because she is also “feminist woman.”

“There is always a point of contact. I am a feminist woman, I have suffered, because I have had to fight, especially at my age “And I’m an almost 74-year-old woman.” I am of a very difficult generation in which we had to be all the time demonstrating that women also served, that we won less than men. There is a territory that has allowed me to go to that woman’s soul. And souls in general, if they are good souls, are similar “Gavasa added during the presentation.

In addition, the fact of representing Vargas during his last moments, has allowed the actress to approach and face death, because although she has assured that she has “no interest” to leave, it is something that at her age, “Torea “As you can.

“He made me face-and that is something joyfully painful to understand-yes, that one day the pelone will come (death). Every time I get rid of more things without realizing it. Perhaps it is the great lesson that Chavela is giving me, learning to go from dignity, light luggage, as Machado would say“He acknowledged.

The cast is completed by Paula Iwasaki, who gives life to the most girl’s chavela; Laura Porras, which is Frida Khalo; Raquel Varela, who represents all the male characters; and Alejandro Pelayo, to the musical direction and composition.

With localities exhausted in the cities through which it has passed-Valladolid, Malaga and Zaragoza-‘Chavela’ seeks to narrate the story of a myth, but not from the myth.

“The person moved me. It was a heavenly, magical creature, that came to this world to teach us truths like fists. It was a shaman to walk around the house, a visionary who took freedom as a flag. I am more interested in the person than the myth, which is normal with that voice and that presence. But without that experience, the pain he suffered in his childhood, would not have had that presence. She sang to make us cry. That’s what was behind myth“The director Román concluded.
