The legendary actress says that filming makes her very tired and she prefers to do other things. She this Thursday she premieres a work in the Auditorium of Mar del Plata.


In the framework of the revival of the work

Alquimia

, which is presented at the Auditorium in Mar del Plata,

Graciela Borges

assures that she

decided to move away from the cinema permanently

due to suffering from

burnout

syndrome , the same creative crisis that affects some Hollywood figures.

This is how she told it in an interview with the Telam agency. 

"I suffer from

burnout

, like Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt," said the actress, in relation to her recent shootings that produced sensations associated with "work exhaustion."

The so-called

burnout

 is a special type of work-related stress that, in addition to physical or emotional exhaustion, implies a lack of a sense of achievement.

Graciela assures that the forms and length of the filming days have a lot to do with it.

However, he admits that his last two films,

The Tale of the Weasels

, directed by Juan José Campanella, and

La quietud

, by Pablo Trapero, he liked but that they brought him "a lot of fatigue" and for this reason he would not participate in any more. .

A movie diva

Inspirational muse of Leopoldo Torre Nilsson, the great diva of Argentine cinema has an extensive career on stage and on film sets thanks to her talent, with which she has won dozens of international awards.

The protagonist of

La ciénaga

, during her career she filmed, among others, with Leonardo Favio, Fernando Ayala, Raúl De la Torre, Alejandro Doria, Lucas Demare, Luis Ortega, Diego Kaplan, Lucrecia Martel, Daniel Burman, Marcos Carnevale, Mario Sofici, Manuel Antin and the Spanish Vicente Aranda.

-How do you decide to undertake a tour, a show or a new movie?

-I'm testing what amuses me to do, have fun in the deep sense of the term, do things well and not frivolously.

And have fun.

I already left the movies.

Why do you say you left them?

-I got very tired in the last two films I made.

I loved them, but they were very difficult.

I filmed with Campanella and Trapero, just before this bug that humiliated us so much.

Is it a final decision?

-The decisions are never very firm, but I think it will cost me a lot.

I had films where I played many different characters, many beautiful things, awarded inside and outside, but when you have such a special career it becomes very difficult to choose again.

-What does a script have to have for you to choose to tell that story?

-It is rare that you get a script that you like, that you have no idea of ​​having performed it before.

Let it be something different, something to know.

I like to meet characters that I have to discover, rack my brains to find out how they walk or how they talk.

I had wonderful scriptwriters, now Aída Bortnik comes to mind, who was a genius and told Argentine stories like no one else.

Hasn't something like this come up lately?

- What I want is to feel like it.

Ana Katz recently called me to play a small character in a series that she is filming with Carla Peterson and other beautiful people, and she convinced me.

I had fun and I had a good time, but it was only a few days.

-What things tire you of filming?

-I suffer from

burnout

, as happened to Sandra Bullock and Brad Pitt.

What does something like "being burnt" mean? This happens to many of us.

Having to film and think "again at night", "again 17 hours of filming", "again repeat lyrics".

Didn't that happen to you before?

-The directors do not use the good old film;

with all this now they can innovate and do whatever they want simply because it doesn't cost them.

"Mar del Plata is getting better every year"

-As a spectator, do you still enjoy watching movies or theater?

-Always.

In the theater season, as in the cinema, I find divine, incredible and accomplished things.

Maybe there are things from which one does not expect much, produced with a mango with fifty, and they give you a lot.

And others that better not even talk about.

-How do you see this season in relation to the repercussion of the works, the general artistic proposal and the response of the public?

-I could not go out to see many works because I am taking care of my health and my voice for the functions.

But I found out, as old Borges would say, and I know that the proposals of the people of Mar del Plata have been highly pondered, which is not a surprise.

There is really a lot to see, to the point that I don't know if there is an audience for so many works.

-What is the peculiarity or the charm of having a season in summer with the public on vacation?

-I am very happy to do theater in Mar del Plata because it always went very well for me and I haven't done it for many years.

It is a city that my mother always chose to vacation, that is why it gives me enormous fascination.

We also vacation in Uruguay, and I love Uruguayans, but they are completely different and beautiful places.

-What is special about Mar del Plata?

-There is no need to fall into crude comparisons, it would be like comparing the horse with the car.

What serves you from one you don't ask another, even if it goes so fast or that the other has blood.

I see Mar del Plata as thriving, beautiful and busy.

Every year better.

-Do you think that after the pandemic the relationship of the public with the theater changed?

-No, I think not.

When people receive love, they give love.

At first they were dazzled because seeing a show again was a miracle, but now I see a calmer audience.

The Argentine is a great public.

We have to be proud of that.

-In his social networks, he shows a close relationship with his granddaughter, María Jesús, on a daily basis.

Did he modernize for her or for her?

-It's funny because I always tell her that I know a lot about social networks and she answers me "

Oh, grandma. That's great

."

But she recently called me on the phone and when we had already started talking she told me "it

's better if you move the phone away from your face, grandma, because this is a video call

."

She tells me I'm good but I never get her right with that.

-Your active role on Instagram, for example, is it just for your motivation?

-I do everything.

The accounts are managed by me and I do not receive help from anyone, I do not have secretaries.

Yes, a lot of people who work with me, creative, but none of them are my assistant.

-He made a post about the Lucio Dupuy case...

-Lucio's was something I had to write because I felt it and it hurt my soul.

-How is your family life?

-We are very close.

With Jesus I go everywhere, she is divine, humble, she has an extraordinary father and mother.

We often go to the countryside to visit Patricia, who was the last wife of Juan Manuel (Bordeu), and we get together with her children, we are all a family.

Hard to explain, but very close.

That's a wonderful thing.

The reunion with the public

The iconic actress premieres

Alchemy

this Thursday.

It is a proposal in which she shares memories and anecdotes of her own through poems, music, audiovisuals and photographs, accompanied by the voice and guitar of Adriana Barcia, directed by Borges herself.

There will be four performances until February 12 in the Astor Piazzolla Hall of the Auditorium Theater.

"It's not just a play, it's a coming and going of people with their own stories. I do this show together with the singer Adriana Barcia, who is fantastic and reminds me of Mercedes Sosa," he explains.

"We tell the stories of poems, songs and my life, but it is a commitment to tell true things, not triumphant. Everyone tells the wonder of the couple, of the awards, but I like to tell the opposite", says.

"I really want to do it and meet the public again."
