La Script | Mujeres no normativas al poder | Adriana Ozores y Aina Clotet

Adriana Ozores and Aina Clotet defy the labels of so-called normativity. They are unequivocally themselves, pure and simple. Adriana Ozores says we live in an era that doesn't encourage critical thinking. The renowned film and theater actress comes to La Script with an overflowing energy that inspires you to think and shed the labels we settle for. She's presenting the play 'The Burnt Garden' by Juan Mayorga, an author who feels at home in the realm of doubt, and she tells us that some audience members leave the Teatro de La Abadía in Madrid angry because the film's message isn't clear to them. Clearly, Adriana Ozores breaks free from the normative framework, that awful word we're told we have to conform to. She also says that life is wild, and she learned this early on because her father, the actor José Luis Ozores, died at 45 when she was just a child. She has now donated a vast collection of Super 8 and 16mm films to the Spanish Film Archive, reconnecting with her legacy: "its lightness" is the feeling she cherishes most fondly and admires. The Catalan actress and director Aina Clotet has revolutionized comedy, first with the series 'Esto no es Suecia' (This Is Not Sweden) and now with her recent win at the Cannes Film Festival, where she won the Best Actress award in Critics' Week for 'Viva', which she directed, wrote, and starred in. Clotet says she can't work without truly enjoying herself; playfulness has to be the driving force behind her work. And it shows. 'Viva' is a wildly funny and lighthearted comedy about life after breast cancer: "It's a film about the fear of loneliness and death. At the same time, we dive headfirst into the dependence women have on romantic love." Aina Clotet is a remarkable woman; her three role models are Sean Baker, Joachim Trier, and Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean).
