• Concert.Return to Serrat

The Barcelona journalist (1978), president of the Academy of Television Sciences and Arts, leaves Madrid after 15 years in the information services of Spanish Television. After being released in her position at La mañanas de la 1 , Casado settles in Malaga, where she will work with Antonio Banderas in the audiovisual direction of the Teatro Soho TV. "Banderas asks you how you are, then what happened and then he says 'give me 5 minutes and I'll call you back because I think I have something for you,'" Casado said a few days ago in an interview in ELMUNDO.

Books: 'The Mustache'

I am a compulsive book eater. I usually read four books at once: novel, essay, poetry ... everything that falls into my hands. I love people's recommendations, among other things, because you learn a lot from people from what they read. Emmanuel Carrère has hypnotized me lately. I recommend El mustache , the story of an irrelevant gesture that turns into a nightmare. Shocking, haunting, fascinating black humor. It is one of the first novels of the French writer and filmmaker and I love that way of writing so much of television narrative. It reads fast, and it doesn't let you go until the end. I don't want to spoil you but ... uff, I don't get that script twist out of my mind. The other obsession that philosophy has accompanied me for some time, the authors of the ancient world that allow us to recognize the essentials of our existence: friendship, love, death, life ... I find all this in Seneca, in Plato, in Artistóteles and also in Confucio, whose books I devour.

Music: 'Mediterranean'

María CasadoSERGIO GONZÁLEZ

In my parents' house melodic music played almost constantly: Julio Iglesias, the Puma ... Although my mother also had an interest in pop and dance music from the 70s and 80s and my grandmother, on the other hand, liked it flamenco and Spanish song. So I came out eclectic, what was I going to do. I like rumba, AC / DC, Rocío Jurado, Elton John ... But Joan Manuel Serrat Serrat is the true soundtrack of my life ... Mediterráneo is a record delight: Lucia, Those Little Things, Mediterranean. .. They are songs that take me to my native Barcelona, ​​to the smell of the sea, to my people, to my affections ... And that has accompanied me a lot in my time in Madrid, it brought me closer to mine. Does anyone understand life without music? I am incapable. All day long I have the music playing ... discovering new themes and artists. But I love rummaging through memories of old songs and authors and going back to those days. I am so passionate about music that this year I dared to do a DJ course at an academy close to home ... Did I tell you that I also love electronic music? Music heals. Art is the best medicine. A song changes your mood, it can turn it around and put a smile on a gray day.

Cinema: 'ET'

As a good eighties girl, I grew up fascinated by UFOs, aliens, science fiction, and the horror of the time. The afterlife fascinated us. That is why I keep the film of ET with great affection in my memories ... A few years ago I interviewed Steven Spielberg in a hotel in Madrid. He came to promote the movie Lincoln with Daniel Day Lewis ... It was a delightful interview and they were delightful. When they finished they got up to say goodbye and I took the opportunity to confess to Spielberg that my favorite childhood movie was ET ... he smiled. I told him I had the DVD in my backpack ... and if he would be so kind as to dedicate it to me. It didn't take a second. It is a little gem that I keep at home. I look at her and keep dreaming, just as I keep changing my plans if I know that some television program ET one night. Rare is the time I don't cry in the scene where ET gets sick. We should never lose that ability to learn and surprise ourselves in life. I have always thought that we all continue to be the children that we were.

Series: 'The paper house'

I love La casa de papel , among other things, because its success is a demonstration that national talent must be given opportunities to demonstrate its quality, also on television. The cast and the script hooked me from minute one. And it was a joy and pride the Emmy that they brought home. I am very proud to see how a Spanish audiovisual production triumphs around the world. Last summer I spent part of the vacation in Mexico. I remember seeing a huge poster hanging in the center of Mexico City promoting the series and it gave me a pinch of pride in my heart. I think part of the appeal that I find to La casa de papel has to do with the way the characters interact with each other, as if they were participating in a perfectly rehearsed choreography, as if they were in a gear in which everything fits and works. Making information on television is a very similar team effort and that's why I'm excited to recognize something familiar in the series.
