Christina Banegas Pop onto the screen and instantly transform. He proudly smokes a cigarette, arranges his hair arrogantly, and fixes his gaze with audacity and psychopathy. Suddenly, the actress’s body takes on the color of a pervert. Small actions and a lifetime of work are enough for Banegas to live a quality life with dedication. Iya Murano in his adult stage I don’t like itFlow’s new series about his life will premiere on November 13th.
In an interview with nation, The seasoned actress and stage director reflects on the controversy over fictionalizing murderers, her passion for theater, her moral boundaries and reveals who she won’t sit down to dinner with.
–How did you prepare to play Iya Murano?
— Basically, I saw pictures of Yiya Murano, especially old Yiya. In her case, it has a small yellow metal buckle that slightly covers her forehead. In fact, there was a reason why she took advantage of it. Once, she was imprisoned, and they found her unconscious on the floor of her cell, and it turned out she had a brain tumor, and they operated on her, and she survived. Of course, the weeds never died, but there was a gap in my forehead, so I had that hairstyle with a little buckle to cover it. I learned so much that I said, “I’m going to smoke in every scene. I’m going to smoke the whole time.” So they made me some totally industrial-looking cigarettes that were made of sage, bay leaves, I don’t know, weed. So I could suck it up.
–Anyway, you’re a smoker.
—I smoke, but I smoke organic cigarettes. Small organic paper, biodegradable filter. Of course, we try to smoke in the healthiest way possible, considering the unhealthy nature of smoking. But I wanted to smoke in every scene, and the production set that up for me.
Q: What was it like building this character, a real person who commands the public’s attention??
–Yes, I have had a similar experience. murderous women, This was also based on a real case. Yiya Murano at that time was performed by Nacha Guevara. But hey, other people did it too.
–Your acting was praised and you received an award…
—Two wins in a row against Martin Fierro killer woman. In Yiya’s case, I read her son’s book (My mother, Iya Murano, Written by Martin Murano) And I also observed the statue of Juliet (silberbergwho plays a younger version of Iya in the same series), is a wonderful person and actress. I already have decades of experience – he laughed – because I added my work to it. It was a lot of fun. I like being a murderer, I like being a bad guy.
–I’m often told that you’re the most interesting character to play…
— Yes, they always build interesting psychological complexities. I’ve done a lot, I also played a murderer in the theater, media…
–Why do villains attract viewers?
— Fortunately, not all of us are perverted or psychopaths, so I think they generally represent what is repressed or what doesn’t exist. So… it’s always fascinating to see that in others.
–What is Yiya’s biggest charm?
――He is an abnormal type of psychopath to me. I say “extraordinary” because it was literally out of the ordinary. because She swore until her death that she was innocent. Her loyalty to herself, her novels, her “innocence” seems surprisingly consistent to me…
“Do you think she really believed he was innocent?”
-no. I think he was a very dangerous man, possessing immense intelligence and extraordinary abilities.
— He knew how to manipulate his victims…
–Of course, well, that’s very psychotic. It’s about knowing how to find arguments for the other side to participate in your strategy… But killing your cousin, sister-in-law, or best friend isn’t exactly an “innocent act.” I think he had an uncanny ability to find accomplices and lovers. I know that he had a lot of military enthusiasts, and that there were definitely more accomplices in his murder that ultimately didn’t turn up.
–Did you talk to her son or someone she knew?
–No, but I had to work with my son on a show about the Baleda case, in which I played his wife. In the final scene where she gets killed, they put explosives on me and they said, “If it goes off, don’t forget to open your hands.” It turned out that the people who spoke to me were part of the same company that was in charge of special effects at the time of the accident. caesar peary (The actor whose career ended tragically in 1992 when a prop grenade exploded during the filming of the series, resulting in severe injuries and death.) When I found out that it was the same special effects company, I immediately consulted with the production team. “These are from Cesar Pierry’s accident,” the assistant said to me, “Yes, he is also Yiya Murano’s son.” That’s how I met him.
–A feast of psychoanalysis.
–I thought it was amazing.
–Did you record the last scene?
-Yeah. At first I said: “I’m going home. I’m not going to do it.”…But what was I going to do? It was the last scene! So I opened my arms wide and everything fell into place.
— There was a lot of show and humor in Iya’s appearance…
— There’s a certain humor in that horror. I think there is something deeply appealing about the evil ones, and they tap into the most hidden fantasies in each of us. These characters captivate viewers. You need to figure out what you won’t or can’t do, and that has to do with betrayal, murder, seduction, strategy, and intelligence. That’s the problem. He’s very charming, very morbid, and I think that’s always gotten him good reviews.
—Yoriya Murano was invited to Mirta Legrand’s program…what do you think about that? Did you want to chat with her?
-no. I have no interest in talking to a murderer. Frankly, not at all.
–It might be interesting to know her for your interpretation, but…
–No, that’s not true. Moral and ethical matters come first. It’s one thing to build a fiction about a real incident, it’s another to develop a real relationship with a murderer. When I was invited to Mirta (Legrand)’s lunch, my then-partner said to me the day before: “Did you find out who the other guests were?” “No.” And he said to me: “Look if it’s (Luis) Patty or (Aldo) Rico.” So I called production and talked to the guest. There were no annoying names. The next day, when I went to the living room, I saw a man with his back turned to me. She turned around and saw that it was Patty. I tell her, “You’re Patti.” Then he replies: “Yes, I’m Patty. Nice to meet you.” I turned and left the program that had already begun. “I will not sit at the same table as my torturers,” I told them.. When I got home, all the radio stations started calling me. This was many years ago in the 90’s. There are also unrelated issues.
—Who would you not want to sit with today?
—There are several.
–Would you please sit with Javier Millay?
–No, of course.
–You have been running a theater for many years. 18th century eccentric…
–He will turn 40 next year. We will turn that history into a digital book. Eccentric… Because it’s a very interesting story.
– Does your granddaughter Sophia work with you there?
— No, my granddaughter loves theater, but she has her own business. she is a genius Your mother, my daughter Valentina (Valentina Fernandez de Rosawho died in 2022 at the age of 54) was a teacher and theater director.
–Your mother also shared that space…
–Yes, I’m with my mother (actress). nelly prince) We did a show together, singing tango. She gave us a friendly atmosphere. And it was very helpful to us, just throughout the purchase and construction. eccentric. it was very helpful. In 2018, my mother and daughter went on a trip to Eastern Europe. It was so much fun! (He gets excited remembering them). It was a great trip and it turned out to be the last trip we took together.
