Spanish cinema and a part of the outside (shared poster with Keanu Reeves in A walk in the clouds) belong to him. As well as theater, TV and, rushing, even dance. Aitana Sánchez-Gijón (Rome, 1968) has an entire life as an actress ("I have not known anything else," she confesses) and it is therefore fair that she exercise authority as godmother of this time that is beginning now and that it is not clear not that it is new, much less normal. The film by Álex , by Irene Zoe Alameda, and the play Juana , where she dances next to Chevi Muraday for the first time in her life, will see the performer both on screen and on stage. She returns and we all return.

QUESTION. After returning to Juana's rehearsals , she now returns to the cinema. The first Spanish film released after the pandemic ... So much return that it goes hand in hand: from fear, uncertainty or simply joy?

REPLY. Of joy, of course, but with a lot of uncertainty. Until I see myself on stage I won't fully believe it. Initially, life, in general, offers few certainties and my profession, even less. If you add to this the pandemic, it is uncertainty at its maximum power.

Q. What do you fear the most?

A. We are very vulnerable. At any time you can get sick and everything you have done is worthless. Let's say I am aware of everything in a year from now. What can be done must be taken as a gift. Everything we have lived and are living now is exceptional and there is no point in making plans. What happens is a plus.

P. I had been without making movies, between theater and TV, two years ...

A. Actually, I haven't stopped. It has even given me time to make Isabel the Catholic in Conquistadores . Then, on TV, Velvet , I am alive ... The funny thing is that the previous film (Thi Mai) was shot in Vietnam and is in India.

P. In one of his recent works he gave life to Nora, from Ibsen's Dollhouse , but after he abandoned the conjugal yoke. The return of Nora, by Lucas Hnath, invented or reinvented a new life for the character. What will the world reinvention be like after the coronavirus?

R. I now, really, am in shock . I would almost ask you to ask me this same question in a year. The only thing I am able to program is the day I get up. I am unable to see beyond.

P. I imagine that this is already a change, that we shorten the deadlines from day to day ...

A. In my profession we always live by leaps and bounds. Projects fall and rise without one ever being able to fully control them. I imagine that what we live now is what an actor always feels but applied to society.

P. He talks about the profession and does nothing the television programmed Boca a boca, by Manuel Gómez Pereira, who is now 25 years old. Let's say that the uncertainty you are talking about has treated you well.

A. I live it as a privilege. Is not easy. I started as a child and have never known anything else. I don't remember doing anything other than what I do. For me it has always been a long distance race.

Q. How deep is the jump from one generation to another in acting?

R. Very much. When I talk to my teenage children about certain colleagues that I consider to be gods, you realize that they don't even exist for them.

Q. Any example?

A. The other day my son asked me if I knew Silvio Rodríguez. He just discovered it and he liked it a lot. (Serie)

P. In an advertisement boasts age, confesses loud and clear that he is 50 years old ...

A. I do not know if that question would be asked of a man.

Q. If the man boasted about his age, why not?

R. (Laughs) It is a theme that haunts us women. It is seen a lot in the networks. People mess with you because you're turning years. In Velvet he had a relationship with a character younger than me played by Maxi Iglesias and you hit yourself with comments from super aggressive people like: "Why are you going with that old woman?" or "It could be your mother." Machismo is very present in the subject of age. So it seemed appropriate to claim my age in the ad. You have to make the flag of age because society refuses to carry it normally. Yes, I am 51 years old and alive and active, so what? Also, I dare things that I did not do before. Without going any further, the contemporary dance show with Chevi Muraday. Why? Well, because I feel like it.

P. In recent Goya it was again clear, despite the small advances, the privileged position of men over women ...

A. However, I am optimistic. I think there is a political will to move towards equality. I see fiction and I find more and more complex, complete female characters ... More interesting things are beginning to happen for women, despite some protesting with a lot of noise. The important thing is not to let your guard down and not be intimidated by this caveman reaction against feminism.

Q. I spoke before about aggressiveness on social networks. How has the permanent exhibition on the net changed the life of an actress?

A. Most people are friendly. But only the one who screams is heard. You have to stay firm in what moves you in life. I am not going to stop saying what I think because four energúmenos start to say outrageous things. I don't care, the poor have enough with their own.
