“I would love to see Trump in ‘Vida Perra’. Let’s see which corners of the dog park he wants to conquer”

This Friday, March 27, it arrives on Prime Video ‘Bitch Life’series starring Elvira Mínguez, Fernando Tejero, Jordi Sánchez, Ana Morgade, Berta Castañé and Carlos Areces. Set entirely in a dog park, this comedy uses this “microcosm of people with different ideologies and thoughts” to address coexistence and friction between “practically strangers.” “I would love for Trump to appear in ‘Vida Perra’. We would have to see which corners of the park he wants to conquer“, jokes Mínguez.

“In society there is polarization and political conflicts that are hateful. In all the years that I have I have never seen so much hatred from one ideology towards another“says Fernando Tejero in an interview with Europa Press, where he indicates that in a hypothetical second season of ‘Vida Perra’ he would “I would like to talk more about politics“. “The series fits with its absurd and satirical humor,” considers the Goya winner for ‘Days of Football’, who plays “a sexist prejudice who wants to teach and who believes that he is above good and evil.

Elvira Mínguez makes this idea concrete and gives her own name to this possible expansion of the series into political satire. “I would love for Donald Trump to appear in ‘Vida Perra’. “We would have to see which territories and corners of the dog park he wants to conquer, which one is his and all that,” says the Goya winner for ‘Tapas’. Jordi Sánchez agrees that bringing certain drifts of reality to fiction could organize the debate. “We would all agree more on the issue of Donald Trump. I don’t know if there would be so much dissociation of ideas,” says the interpreter of ‘La que se cerca’.

Based on the polarization that Tejero alludes to, Sánchez regrets that it reaches the conversation about the limits of humor and defends that “you can make humor out of everything as long as there is distance involved.” “You can’t make Nazi humor when they just invaded Poland, but you can do it now and there is no problem,” exemplifies the actor, who emphasizes that “time allows you to make humor about absolutely everything.”

“The sense of humor is one of the fundamental characteristics of intelligence,” observes Mínguez, who shifts the focus from the limits of humor to the fact that this border has become such a recurring debate. “If we live in a society that puts comedy to shame, it says little about us. If we live in a time in which there is a continuous dialogue about what is and what is not in the sense of humor, we are going badly,” warns the actress.

For Sánchez, this suspicious look towards comedy has a lot to do with the fact that “there is a terrible confusion between reality and fiction that I do not share at all.” “There are absolutely reprehensible characters, but you are an adult who knows what a TV is, a fictional character.” and you have the ability to distance yourself and laugh with him even though you think he is reprehensible“, he claims.

THE DOG PARK AS “MICROCOSMS”

The dog park appears as the only setting for ‘Vida Perra’, which he finds in it “a microcosm where there are people with different ideologies, thoughts, sexes and economic levels“, reveals Sánchez. “It is true that in dog parks you find people of all kinds chatting, something that does not usually happen in normal life,” reflects the actor, underlining the value of a place that condenses a wide social diversity.

According to her co-star, Ana Morgade, she maintains that the dog park is useful for “addressing anything” as it is a meeting point between “practically strangers who do not have complex relationships between them.” There he explains that people “They are relaxing and lowering their barriers” until they end up showing themselves as they are.
