Telmo Irureta Awards, the revelation of the Goya: "People with disabilities also exist and fuck"
Interview The consecration of Telmo Irureta, the actor with cerebral palsy: "I refuse to be considered a victim"
When he went up to collect the Goya for his role in
The Rite of Spring
,
Telmo Irureta
sent a message:
We fuck too
.
People with cerebral palsy also fuck.
I found the boy charming.
Not patronizingly charming, not piously charming, not inclusively charming.
Charming to dry.
Attractive without more.
Handsome.
Soon the social networks brought out their dialectical combat tanks: there were those who defended that
having sex is not a right
, that prostitution must be abolished because there are things that are not sold (I would be there myself) against those who defended the freedom to exercise it, especially in its more "humanitarian" side, sexual social service.
But I didn't read messages from people who thought this guy could just have sex, who found him desirable without going through the checkout.
Prejudice had prevailed:
fucking while disabled was fucking paying
.

There was also a gender issue, of course.
When we talked about prostitution, we all thought of
female prostitution
, the majority on the other hand.
And then Irureta appeared again to say: if I have never paid for sex, if I am also
gay
.
At that point, we had been adding
prejudice after prejudice
until composing a stereotype, an unreal and flat drawing that should be avoided in any movie, that should be avoided in any reality.
Of course, it would be naive to deny the tremendous limitations that a person with a disability experiences in having sexual relations.
But it is also
naive to understand sex as a merely bodily affair
, to ignore that desire happens above all in the mind.
My friend Vaque, with cerebral palsy, considers himself more of an activist for muscular anarchy.
The day I met him, we drank a lot of beer, and we accompanied him to the bathroom, and we laughed because he couldn't hit the mark, no matter how much of a Paralympic bocce champion he was.
I laughed a lot with Vaque, like when he told us that for a class they had to represent a scene between policemen and criminals, and
he had to play a camel
, and that's why that day he carried flour and oregano in his backpack in
improvised
papers .
That same day that Queen Letizia came to our city, that same day that the center was taken over by the security forces.
The same day that policeman decided to search him and found his
props
, while Vaque tried to explain to him, with an anarchic pronunciation, that he was a class duty.
I'm convinced Vaque would be funny and smart no matter what body he was born into.
The Rite of Spring
intends to peel social prejudice to get to the bone, and turn it around in your mouth, to see what it tastes like.
And it is that fortunately good movies free us from the unique story.
