The actress, who was nominated for the Goya for finest new actress for her work in Skins in 2017, he felt unwell final night time throughout a rehearsal in a swimming pool in Lloret de Mar

The loss of life of Itziar Castro (Barcelona, ​​1977) it is a tragedy. All deaths are. But in his case, extra. It hurts for his youth, it hurts for his combative want, it hurts for his expertise, it hurts for his will to by no means cover, it hurts for his brutal and savage anomaly. The information hit the networks early within the morning and everybody, in a technique or one other, felt addressed and have become conscious of the terribly unfair nature of the director’s quick and heartfelt textual content. Frankie de Leonardis.

The reason for loss of life is at present unknown however “everything indicates heart failure,” mentioned the director of his illustration company, Gabriela Defty, to the Efe company. Apparently, as confirmed by Europa Press, the Catalan actress “felt unwell” throughout rehearsals for a charity synchronized swimming gala in Lloret de Mar (Girona). They will carry out an post-mortem to find out the causes of her loss of life and it’s not but identified the place the funeral residence will probably be, though “it is possible” that it will likely be on the Pallej Mortuary (Barcelona), the place the actress’s mom is from, they’ve added from the illustration company.

Itziar Castro was an actress. And interval. And, moreover, she was a special actress. She commented in multiple interview, on the event of her nomination for Goya as a revelation actress for his work in ‘Skins‘, who had lastly obtained a few scripts through which the phrase “fat” didn’t seem when describing her character. And she was joyful about it. Without regret. Conscious and joyful.

She mentioned that she knew she needed to be an actress from a really younger age. At simply 3 years previous she noticed clearly that her factor was to sing and act. And so she quickly made it identified to her father, a painter, and her mom, a cook dinner. She tried dance, then she took a liking to tennis, till, whereas she was in highschool, she signed up for the newly created Barcelona Musical Theater School. His debut got here with the musical ‘Peter Pan’ 25 years in the past now. Pablo Berger continued together with her in ‘Snow White‘ after which he’ll name her once more to ‘Abracadabra‘; Paco Plaza integrated her into the troupe of ‘Rec 3′ and lex de la Iglesias recruited her for ‘The witches of Zugarramurdi‘.

In 2015, every thing most likely modified. It was then when, beneath the orders of Eduardo Casanova shoot the quick movie ‘Eat my shit’, the unique concept from which the aforementioned ‘Skins‘. That was a special film. And it’s understood in another way not a lot in its that means of unusual or totally different, but in addition, significantly better, revealing. The spectator was confronted (nonetheless is) along with his most intimate fears: the demented universe of the anomalous is obtainable in nice element and wrapped with the brightest of cellophane. Casanova’s characters endure, harm and love on the very restrict of themselves, within the empty area through which phrases change their that means and the sensation, any of them, approaches the pure; brutally pure. And, within the center, subsequent to Ana Polvorosa, Itziar Castro because the reference of a brand new time, far more simply and infinitely extra first rate.

It was Gilles Deleuze, a thinker in addition to a Frenchman, who revolted in opposition to the sample of thought that has stored us going since earlier than Plato to demand a revolution for the philosophy of the longer term. It is sufficient to outline the opposite, the totally different, because the denial of the identical. It is sufficient to think about that the topic and its illustration ought to be the place to begin of any sample of thought. Enough of id. What I got here to say is that on this new digital time that we’re confronted with, every thing is distinction, simulacrum and, due to this fact, id is nothing greater than a mirage. Otherwise, the start to know what we’re as much as, to know who we’re, ought to be the dissimilar, the altering, what can’t be cataloged with a easy definition. Not even by a reputation. Who would have imagined that the French thinker would have an indefatigable ally in a Catalan actress, promise of the longer term and all the nice issues to come back.

Itziar Castro doing the spagat together with her legs fully open on the purple carpet on the Berlinale, she was extra than simply an actress presenting a movie, she was an actress presenting herself and rebelling in opposition to all the restrictions that maintain us again, she was a lady standing as much as the hordes of social media. . She was merely an incredible actress in essentially the most real and true of senses. Without metaphors, with out guides. In uncooked. Castro commented that he had been going from eating regimen to eating regimen all his life; that when it was time for the galas, the businesses of the elegant manufacturers turned their backs on him; that within the maremgnum of the neuron-free web he was simple prey. But she, up entrance, modified every thing. It was sufficient to see her on the Malaga Festival with a devastating Bibian Blue corset.

‘Skins‘, as a result of it was an occasion, a uncommon sight, a phenomenon, even self-affirmation, it represented the nice change. But it could be unfair to neglect ‘Kill God‘, by Albert Pint and Caye Casas, which coincided in time and, though in circles with thicker glasses, redefined most of the limits of what we perceive as black comedy. Each actor actually breaks down in protection of his character. And, as soon as once more, Castro sweeps away. Now on the billboard, you possibly can see it alongside Casas once more in a gem of the latest terror that’s ‘The eating room desk’.

Then would come its affirmation, as an instance, well-liked in movies like ‘Champions‘, by Javier Fesser, and in sequence like ‘Vis a vis’ And until ‘The one that’s coming’ with out forgetting his eventful passage by way of ‘Operation Triumph’(disgrace you) even. Itziar Castro can already boast of getting modified the schemes, of getting pressured us to look in another way, which is like being one other manner, significantly better. Because what will we take a look at once we take a look at what we take a look at? What if the eyes had been, as a substitute of essentially defenseless and passive mirrors through which the world is mirrored, a instrument with which to assemble the identical actuality? Someone as soon as mentioned that if we glance straight on the sky we’ll find yourself flying. It was not a lot poetry, but in addition the questioning of the at all times imposed border that separates the subjective from the opposite; the truth of want. And that is maybe the place it’s honest, and even mandatory, for folks like Itziar to be current, inviting us to be higher, to see the world for the primary time, to reformulate the schemes that configure what’s given, what’s first rate, what’s regular, actuality itself. . People like Itziar are right here to vary our eyes. D.E.P.
