The similarity between Luana Tanaka and her character in “Dona de Me”, of Globo

In the air in the soap opera “Dona de me”, broadcast from TV Globo to 19h, Luana Tanaka plays Gisele, a determined woman who lives a relationship with Ayla, a role of Bel Lima. The actress 35 -year -LD sees in the character an opportunity to expand the debate on different forms of existence and affection on open television. And as well as the history of the plot, it does not want to be involved in motherhood.




According to the artist, being in a national production contributes directly to the expansion of the prospects.

“We have to look at other narratives, other perspectives of the world. Heteronormativity is not a reality for the whole world and homosexual stories have always existed, but they have been immensely deleted”, has defended in an interview with the Terra portal.

Maternity from a new point of view

Like your character, San Paolo does not have the desire to generate biological children. In his words, “I have never had the desire to be a mother, to generate a life. This has never come to me. If I think of motherhood, I think of adoption.”

Luana sees the construction of motherhood as a concept that goes beyond biology and believes that soap operates can help deconstruct social stigmas. “I am very happy that a soap work of 19 hours ports homosexual relationships, but that this is not the center of discussion, but motherhood (or not) within these family buildings.”

Creative process and backstage

To give life to Gisele, the actress suffered an immersion and study process, typical of dramaturgy productions. As reported, the character was slowly revealing himself as he read the scripts. “Since it is an open job, we don’t know exactly who the character is – he is unprecedented, dynamic, fleeting,” he explained.

Reflections on career and human relationships

“We live in a world with 8 billion coexisting reality and truths,” he said.

Commenting possible loving triangulations, as suggested by the fans of the soap opera on social networks, the artist admitted that he has never experienced a relationship with three, but recognizes the complexity of the theme.

“I think it should dedicate many conversations and we would not be free from suffering and differences,” he said.

Career and challenges of the profession

Graduated in show arts, Luana recognizes the difficulties faced by those who live in the arts in Brazil. “It is a stimulating profession, because there are times when we have work and, in others, he did not do it. But he taught me to have more creativity and autonomy,” he reflected.

With series documents such as “therapy session”, “3%” and “The negotiator”, the Nipo-Brazilian actress reiterates her commitment for diversity in audiovisual. For her, art must reflect the multiplicity of human experiences and expand the public debate on relevant topics.
