Gabino Diego: "I like to be directed by a woman"

Theater

Gabino Diego plays in 'Los Mojigatos' a man in the middle of a sexual drought.

Where are the red lines of the new seduction?

Gabino Diego gets on the boards of the Teatro de Bellas Artes to find out how to replace the old outdated codes of love without becoming a prude.

When playwright

writes a play in which a man faces 14 months of sexual drought in a nine-year relationship, the actor in charge of portraying him knows he will not have it easy.

But

(Madrid, 1966) takes on the challenge offered by

with enthusiasm: "I like their approach, it presents a very interesting dramaturgy," he explains while preparing the premiere at the Madrid Fine Arts Theater, where the play will remain. on the bill until November 29.

Under the orders of

, the interpreter will share the stage with

, together with whom he will tell his problems to the public with a joking spirit, but without avoiding any topic:

, child abuse, pornography ...

Is it risky to undertake "the search for lost sex" in these times when people can't touch each other? I don't know.

I think this topic is always interesting: the couple and their problems, the relationship between man and woman.

It is something that is always current. The director of the play, Magüi Mira, comments that she wants to reflect on the courage that one must have to overcome the old codes, already outdated, without being belittled for it.

Do you think that men are more open to reflect on their behavior? In this role it is seen that sometimes couples love each other but on the other hand they are a bit lost.

There is a time when my character talks about when he went with his girlfriend to see

and what he liked was a Michael Douglas who pushed the girl against the wall and the bed.

Then at the end he says "but hey, this is not what you want now."

He is so lost that he does not know what is demanded: if a hard man, sensitive but who does not seem soft ... We are a little lost.

What is it like to work with Magüi Mira and Cecilia Solaguren?

I really like working with women, to be directed by a woman.

I have always loved it.

I do not know why.

I work very well, it is another type of sensitivity.

I have been very happy with Magüi.

I have wanted to work with her for a long time and the truth is that it has been a wonderful gift that she has given me.

And Cecilia is a fantastic partner, with an incredible comic vision.

She is an actress with an impressive career.

She is known throughout the profession because she has been working for many years with people like Héctor Alterio, José Sacristán, El Brujo, Pedro Ruiz .... She has done theater in Scotland, everywhere.

She is very versatile, very funny and a very good companion, representing the play they have even thrown her a box of condoms.

Do you notice the public different with the pandemic? The truth is that we are getting used to it a bit.

People see the show with a mask and at first we were shocked.

But we have to get used to it.

And then, on the other hand, the generosity of the people seems very tender to me, that they keep coming to the theater and keep wanting to enjoy it, which is something unique.

We do it for them.

The director Magüi Mira, along with Gabino Diego and Cecilia Solaguren.

Colleagues by profession Concha Velasco or Imanol Arias comment that now you feel something special in the applause. Do you notice the same? Sometimes it has happened to us that we go on stage and they already applaud us, as if thanking us that we continue, that the party continues.

It is a very nice gesture.

Everything must continue and the theater is one of the safest places there is.

People come, stay quiet, keep their distance and then leave. You always emphasize that "life is full of accidents of destiny."

Do you consider that this time the harshness of the blow has been passed? This is part of destiny.

If we analyze a little what our parents and grandparents have had to live, with a Civil War, with World War II ... I think we are a little better.

I'm optimistic, I hope we get better.

But if you think about it, all that generation that spliced ​​one war after another, that was born and the only thing they knew was bombs and deaths ... We haven't reached that yet.

We have had to live another side of the drama, but let's hope we know how to carry it.
