PHILOSOPHIE
Being an actor is something that emanates from the latent desire that all children have until they are domesticated. It is the desire to be many people at the same time, a desire that is truncated because later they educate you to be a single person
With this quote by Fernando Fernán-Gómez (1921) I understand the true essence of my profession. I understand my body as my working instrument and my voice as part of a whole. It is the deepest way I know to feel alive, to vibrate. Through acting in film, theater and singing, my voice is my instrument and part of my body; an extension of my soul.
In cinema and theater -even when dealing with different codes-, when I approach structure, action, text, body intention, space-time and aesthetics itself, I have learned that you can always communicate, altering your identity, through conflict in scene. Also, in singing, I don’t understand the act of singing without the dramatic aspect, without a total expression, without a full communication. I feel that the importance of this communication elevates the song to “pure theater”. In my case, building characters is the most beautiful thing about opera, cinema, theater or Musical; to give as many faces and details as possible. This creative ability is the driving force of my work.

Music is the heart of life: love speaks through it; without it there is no possible good; and with it everything is beautiful.
