But the broader public is recognizing him for his roles in movies equivalent to Suro the collection like Shame o See you in one other lifefor which he has obtained a nomination for greatest supporting actor at this 12 months’s Feroz awards. Trained on the Catalan Theater Institute and the Lliure and a member of his personal firm like La solitaria, Pol López is aware of find out how to declare his career like few others.

Ask. In movies that he has already shot equivalent to Surowe see that one of many targets of cinema is to spoil the get together. Have they even included dystopia within the rural idyll?

Answer. Ruin the get together? The cinema? Nooooo! On the opposite! It is a spot to go to dwell different lives and imaginary worlds.

P. To take a look at life via an artifice, too…

R. And? Everything that may stir you, what makes you are feeling, encourage, suppose… It is life, it is filled with revelations. In the collection the identical impact isn’t created.

P. To get on stage and carry out in Spain, you, who’re a part of your individual firm, should first handle your self and for an hour and a half of enjoyment it’s essential to act as a driver, prop man, hairdresser, administrator… Slightly little bit of all the things, proper? Is the fervour that a lot?

R. In my firm, we actors have devoted ourselves to performing for years, we determined that we’d work if we might keep away from sure precarious conditions. But, in fact, we have now finished theater even on terraces, for nothing, with out charging…

P. You quickly entered the Institut del Teatre and later the Lliure. Are you continue to a legendary reference on your era?

R. Of course, an absolute reference, for the inventive spirit, of making firm, the respect and irreverence, which maintains with the classics, its porosity in the direction of what comes from exterior.

P. simply finished The misanthrope…Could we are saying that he’s a dogmatist of sincerity?

R. Yes, completely… But that is very harmful, proper? I can determine with him in his stubbornness, however not in that quasi-terrorist conception he has of concepts.

P. What scares you about that?

R. The concept of ​​pursuing pure ideas and all the time being constant. That does not work and has nothing to do with the human situation. That the reality is one… The character will be very proper, however on the identical time be fallacious. I additionally don’t love the concept of ​​isolating your self, which you defend. Is that dwelling? No, quite the opposite, I actually like individuals. Distrusting individuals does not hassle me in any respect.

P. Still, if he does not get a Feroz award for his function in See you in one other life (Disney+), Will the collection by brothers Jorge and Alberto Sánchez-Cabezudo get indignant?

R. No! It’s okay, let’s proceed… For me, doing it has already been sufficient of a reward.

R. I discover it extra attention-grabbing to learn a textual content at a ceremony at my son’s faculty than to go on stage.

P. Maybe as a result of disgrace is what we generally really feel to keep away from making these we care about look unhealthy, slightly than ourselves?

R. Probably, but additionally a sense that you could’t shake due to the issues that encompass us, I get it on a regular basis. Sometimes in life we ​​search for methods to keep away from discomfort, fragility, weak point. But concerning work, for instance, I do not take into account it, in life, nevertheless, I do.

P. Isn’t there one thing main there that additionally has to do with daring?

R. Yes, many instances. But it’s a totally different daring. For me, daring to be an actor is a technique to really feel alive and busy, one thing troublesome to realize in on a regular basis life, the place generally you do not know find out how to spend your time. You are overcome by unease, by the fraud of your individual existence, by the absurdity. Theater provides you a technique to dwell inside an order and makes you be ok with with the ability to share it. It is the important thing to artwork and this career, that’s what I see when doing it and that’s stunning.
