Eibarresa Ylenia Baglietto performs for the first time at the Colosseum with 'Goenkale: kondesaren erretratua'
Féliz Morquecho. Eibar.
Friday, January 18, 2013
For a couple of years she has been on the roster of the longest running series of ETB. Ylenia Baglietto (Eibar, 1986), becomes Eider, a young gothic-looking woman in Goenkale every day. Coinciding with season 18 broadcast, the producer Glu Glu launched a play that arrives in Eibar today at 8:30 p.m.
- She arrives in Eibar with the play Goenkale but has been working on the television series for some time.
- Yes, this is my third season in the series. Last summer they called us because they wanted to do a play in honor of all these years that Goenkale has been running, which are now 19. We started in July with rehearsals and the play premiered in September.
- The play features a small part of the Goenkale characters. What is the audience going to find in the theater?
- The story takes place in a rural house. There are two characters who live there, and the rest of us are arriving to spend a weekend. There is a disappearance but I am not going to say more because the story goes along the lines of Agatha Christie, 'The Mousetrap' ... it has some mystery and everything happens around that disappearance, if any of us is guilty or not, etc. But there is a lot of comedy in the play. Itsaso's character, represented by María Cruickshank, puts the icing on the cake when it comes to humor.
- But is it a work for Goenkale fans?
- It is a very fresh work and very easy to see, not only for Goenkale fans. It really is a new story, different to the series. Yes, some references are made to the history of the series, but it is totally independent. The only thing that remains are the characters, since six actors that are on the series are making the same characters on the play. Anyone who follows Goenkale will recognize them, but someone who does not see the series can see the play with no problem.
- So Ylenia appears a little gothic?
- A little bit, not to much (laughs).
- It does not take the separation with the personage well?
- I take it very well ... believe it or not. I used to like wearing black a lot but since I made this character, Eider, I try to look for things with color. Every time I wear something black I remember Eider.
- She had been in the series for a couple of years when the call came to take Goenkale to the theater. Same character but a totally different medium.
-Totally. In fact, it has cost me a lot, it has been harder than I expected. On television there is a camera that can collect all kinds of expressions, even the smallest detail. However, in theater you have to do everything to be seen by the one in the last row. It is not easy because you have to take the point of what you have to expand your character but that there is not something exaggerated.
- However, the theater was not new to you.
- No, especially I have worked with Glu Glu productions. In fact, I am still working with them now on two children's musicals, 'El patito feo' and 'La ratita presumida'. We sang, we danced ... and we also did an adult comedy that was 'Nick Maritxu nick Bartolo'. So in theater I had also done things.
- And what attracts you the most?
- To me what I like most of all is the cinema, which seems wonderful to me, I love it. If I had to say in order what I like the most it would be first cinema, second theater and third television.
- Why?
- I like cinema a lot because you have time to prepare the character, the filming is done with a different calm ... Then, the theater has something wonderful that is contact with the public, that is brutal. Hearing the applause when the audience really liked it is a wonderful thing. And television has a very fast pace. Actually, I get up at 5.30 to go to Miramon to record and I'm happy with life. But at the speed at which it works, I don't have time to enjoy myself as an actress. It is the catch that I see on television.
- But it is a good platform.
- And a tremendous school. Now I take any script and I learn it in two minutes.
-How long have you been working as an actress?
- I spent four years studying at the Getxo Theater School and not a year passed when I was caught in Goenkale. But at that time, I had written a play, I directed it and we had bowling with other classmates. I have never been unemployed and it was clear that I wanted to dedicate myself to this. If you want to call work you have to be working. Therefore, I could say that I have been working professionally as an actress for three years.
- Have you tried cinema recently?
- Yes. This summer I have filmed a medium-length film.
- Medium?
- That's right, it's 45 minutes. It is a film that tells the legend of Ana de Velasco who was in 1512 the Marquise de Falces and owner of the castle of Marcilla. It is a castle that still stands today, and the film tells the legend that when Colonel Villalba came to demolish her castle, Ana de Velasco prepared a banquet for all his soldiers and seduced him. In this way she made the colonel not to tear down her castle.
- And in the film you are ...?
- Ana de Velasco.
- It is well to begin in the cinema with a leading role.
- The truth is that if. It is a film directed by Ana Murugarren for the blogmedia production company. It is amazing! Before, we had made many short films and had won some awards. All this has helped me get to know this medium, this language.
- She has been living in Bilbao for two years, so coming to perform in Eibar will not be the same as going to another stage.
-Of course not. Also, it is the first time that I come to Eibar to perform. I have been rehearsing works because with Glu Glu we rehearsed many times in Eibar. But it has happened that those works then have not been represented here. I have been to Ermua, Elgoibar ... but never Eibar. So it will be very special. People asked me when in Eibar? Many people already know that I am working on this but it is not the same to see it in a theater.
- You have been very active for a few years, but what do you ask of the future?
- Continuing on this path I am satisfied. Man, win a Goya? (laughs) For asking that! I want to continue working as until now and that little by little my work is recognized and is going up. As long as I have a job and still can live from being an actress ... that is my dream and I am fulfilling it.
