Lake Virginia is defined as a woman Self-government And Determinationconvinced that the artistic passion and the Teamwork They were the fundamental driving forces of his extensive career.
“I pursue my passions with great passion and don’t stop until I achieve them,” she says, making it clear that her initiative and perseverance have guided each of her projects, both on stage and in everyday life.
Since his first steps in television and theater lake has maintained a philosophy of action and engagement. “I usually do this, if they don’t call me, I generate“, argues about his way of dealing with professional challenges and the instability of the artistic world.
For her, self-management is not just a professional strategy, but a vital attitude: “The life of an actor is very, very difficultNO? It’s a hunger race, they say. “I will want to work as long as life allows.”
The actress emphasizes how important it is not to go it alone. “We can’t do anything alone,” he is convinced, emphasizing that Teamwork and learning from others were crucial to his development.
“I like to learn a little more every day,” she admits, gratefully remembering those who accompanied her in her early days, such as: Wilfredo Ferranwho invited her to her theater debut at the age of 17: “I learned so much from it because it was a very big cast and there were great people in the cast. And basically Wilfredo.”
The family environment was also a supporting pillar in his life. “They held me back a lot,” he says of his parents and siblings, recalling his father’s figure. Emilio Lagowhom he describes as a great musician and wise man, and his mother, who took care to create a warm home that was open to friends.
He has continued this tradition of hospitality and closeness to his own children: “Generally, my children’s friends come to our house and it is their home. So, well, I practice that a lot.”
The artistic passion And the calling For Lago, they are the true driving force of existence: “A great passion for my work, for my calling, for my pleasure, my madness in what I do.”
For him, discipline and the will to continue learning are inextricably linked to the artistic task: “I think passion, which you told me a while ago before you started rehearsing for the report, is what you love most: working in a group and also the passion that comes with the task you are working on.”
Throughout her career, Lago has chosen to play historical women of great strength, such as Edith Piaf, Violeta Parra And Frida Kahlo.
“I love them because they taught me,” he admits. By Piaf He learned from Kahlo the ability to transform suffering into art and from Parra the total commitment to a collective dream.
“Piaf suffered so much, the poor thing, so much… She was an extraordinary artist and she had this story with love, this love for this incredible man. Violet He built a circus, a tent. I dreamed of this, of the artists going into this tent, of everyone sitting down there and doing what they wanted to share. And that’s where Violeta shot herself, she killed herself in the place that some say was because of this love. “I don’t know why, but I had put so much love into that tent and dreamed that all the artists would go there, and not all the artists went.”
Balancing family and professional life was another challenge he was able to face. “I also do that with my children’s friends,” he says, commenting on the custom of opening his house how his children grew up between rehearsals and performances: “They experienced Héctor’s work and my work a lot, they lived it with great joy. My house was always full of people because we had meetings, we had fun and they had fun with us. And they came to the theater and were suddenly used to falling asleep in the stalls. They shared the theater very, very often.”
The bond with her husband, bullyingwas both personal and professional. “We have worked together a lot. Now we are doing Gracias María Elena, a work that Héctor compiled with texts from it.” Maria Elena Walshwith whom I had the pleasure, honor and gratitude of being her friend,” she says.
Regarding work and domestic life, he admits: “It’s not easy to work with your partner. You have to learn that, because that too is coexistence. And when you add the coexistence of home and theater, you get an even greater coexistence. But I believe things need to be discussed, sometimes we get angry, sometimes…well, I don’t even greet him in the morning. But yes, yes, I get angry too and so does he, but the anger doesn’t last long and Héctor laughs when I get angry“.
The actress reflects on the passage of time and the need to reinvent herself. “I’m always learning, yes. Reinvent. Yes, yes. Because when you think you know everything, you know nothing, then you go back, because that’s how it is. You have to learn, one always learns with the other, right? We all need everyone, we all need everyone. A caress that is useful, something that you don’t know and say: I don’t know. And someone else to teach him. That’s life.”
As for future projects, Lago maintains his enthusiasm and energy. “It’s an extraordinary project, I don’t want to say it yet” previews an upcoming musical comedy work. Despite the industry’s difficulties, such as the lack of local production on television, he remains true to his commitment to art and self-management: “The way I do things… If they don’t call me, I’ll call myself. So I do what I like to do. Sometimes I go to the independent theater, to the off-theater, I perform plays there that I like, I direct them, I have been a director for many years, I am also a teacher.”
For Lake VirginiaAge is not a limit or a problem. Your desire to continue working and creating depends solely on your desire and the life impulse that comes with it.
