โCuando el deseo empuja al miedo, hay que apostar a lo que sentรญs. No hay otra forma. Yo no encontrarรญa otra manera. Y asรญ fue, y mi carrera tomรณ un camino hermoso y estoy haciendo papeles que me gustan, me diviertenโ
In a candid conversation with La Naciรณn, Moretti delves into her professional achievements and personal journey. She discusses the challenges and rewards of portraying an 80-year-old woman in "Morite Beba," a role that required a nuanced approach to aging. The play itself is praised for its originality, centering on three elderly friends grappling with mortality and the urgency of fulfilling life's desires before it's too late.
โEs una obra de Virginia Flammini que cuenta la historia de tres amigas, pero sobre todo se centra en Beba, que muere y no lo sabe. Sus mejores amigas, hermanas entre ellas, vienen a buscarla para llevรกrsela a la vida eterna y se encuentran con un montรณn de dificultades para lograrlo. Pero si no logran llevarla, pierden la vida eterna tambiรฉn. Asรญ que hay muchos obstรกculos en el medio, entre ellos Beba, que se resiste un poco a la idea y hay que ver cรณmo resuelven esta cuestiรณn estas tres amigas de 80 aรฑos. Es muy original, una historia de amistad que habla de los vรญnculos, de la muerte, pero sobre del deseo, de las cosas que vas postergando, y tenรฉs que resolver ante la inminencia de un abismo.โ
Moretti also bravely shares her experiences as a transgender woman, reflecting on the fears she initially had about transitioning impacting her acting career. She recounts how overcoming these fears and embracing her authentic self opened doors to roles she genuinely enjoys and finds fulfilling. Her story is a testament to the power of pursuing one's desires, even when faced with societal and personal apprehension, ultimately leading to a "beautiful path" in her career and the ability to make a living doing what she loves.
โEso fue un desafรญo porque cuando empezamos a pensarlas y a poner en el cuerpo a estas mujeres de 80 aรฑos, con mis compaรฑeros Juliรกn Pucheta y Marco Gianoli y el director Gabriel Villarba, se nos vino a la cabeza el deterioro natural de la edad. Pero los 80 de hoy no son los 80 de hace treinta aรฑos. Mi mamรก tiene casi 80 y estรก esplรฉndida. Ya no es lo mismo. Entonces decidimos ir por un camino intermedio, entre el deterioro y la esplendidez de ahora.โ
