Ingrid Pelicori: The Challenge of Staging Classics, Grief for Her Father's Sudden Death, and Her Hopes for Young People

Ingrid Pelicori, a highly respected Argentine actress, is currently starring as Linda Loman in Arthur Miller's classic play "Death of a Salesman" at the El Tinglado theater in Buenos Aires. The production, directed by Daniel Marcove, also features Alejandro Awada. Pelicori, who comes from a prominent acting family, has a long and distinguished career in theater, having previously performed in a wide range of acclaimed roles. She expressed her long-standing admiration for "Death of a Salesman," calling it one of her favorite plays in theater history. Pelicori was drawn to the project not only because of the play's quality but also due to the opportunity to work with Alejandro Awada, whom she greatly admires. She believes the play remains relevant today due to its universal themes, poetic writing, and profound exploration of the human condition. Pelicori highlighted how the play addresses the societal pressures for relentless economic success, a theme she feels has intensified in contemporary society. She sees the play as transcending the "American Dream" to explore deeper questions about the meaning of life. Pelicori's interest in her character, Linda Loman, lies in portraying her as a reserved woman rather than solely focusing on submission.

I don't usually have unfinished business or wish to do a certain play or character beforehand. But I always loved this one. I've seen it several times, and it's one of my favorites in all of theater history. So, as soon as they proposed it to me, I said yes.
