Actor received guidance from his wife and colleague by profession, who gave life to Elis Regina almost a decade ago, and used tip in her preparation
One of the most praised points of Raul Seixas: I ambiographical series available at Globoplay, is the performance of RAVEL ANDRADE in the role of crazy beauty. The actor – and also a musician – 31 years detailed, in an interview with Luis Maluf to the Rolling Stone Brazilthe arc of preparation and study to give life, before the cameras, to one of the greatest icons of Brazilian rock.
According to Andrade, his wife, Andreia Hortaoffered a determining advice in the midst of his work. The actress, who played the role of Elis Regina in the movie Elis (2016), made clear to the partner that a demand of the type demand that the interpreter “puts the honoree in the body”.
He said:
“I had a lot of conversations with my wife, Andreia Horta, who made Elis Regina. When she did Elis, she also had these comments of ‘incorporated’. It’s very crazy, because this illusion is created [de que é a pessoa] Causes a nervous. With her, this happened too. And when she talked to her about it, she said, ‘To incorporate is to put it in the body, to embody it is to put it in the flesh.’ And for you to put in the flesh, it is not something that you turn on a candle, close your eye and call the soul. No. It’s work. ”
Then the gaucho artist highlighted some of the points involved in his preparation. He stated:
“Very deep research work, work of trial and error, work of looking – to observe the video materials that Raul has -, I work to study the lyrics and records, understand how that guy communicated, what that guy meant, understanding a little of his psyche, his thinking in some way? Through hard work. I worked hard to get a lot.”
The witty Raul Seixas, according to Ravel Andrade
In building the “character” Raul Seixas, Ravel Andrade had in mind that the form of action could not be naturalistic – a technique that demands a more realistic reproduction. Raulzito’s expansive personality would prevent such performance.
“Raul is a difficult, very complex character. It’s not a character inside. I couldn’t make it minimalist or naturalistic, which we call it acting, which is that more real acting. Raul was not this guy. He was witty, irreverent. So it was a jump in the abyss, the mystery. Do not get Raul Seixas from inside me.
