If you look at the posters that Netflix distributes, series Soul, thriller supernatural created by Asturian Sergio G. Sánchez will realize that the most important characters are played by a Catalan Mireya Oriol and Madrilla claudia rosette. One gives life to the character whose name is the title of this intriguing fantasy, and the other to Deva. And we were able to ask them both a few questions about this TV experience.
“This is a great project,” says the lead actress. “From the first moment I received the script, [me percaté de que] I have never read anything like it. The whole universe [que construye]the way it was written, defining the characters you saw without knowing who would interpret them, and you could already very well intuit what was behind them… It was a gift for me to be able to be a part of it, both personally and professionally.”
Claudia Roset, for her part, “didn’t think about it for a second.” Because “what they knew at the beginning already indicated very good manners. That the reprint is so well written and so complete, [es] something elusive.” And, “then to discover all that was” and, “when you read [que está ambientada en] Asturias, [vas] chapter But also you understand that It’s a huge, beautiful and complex universe. A gift for everyone.”
The main actresses of “Alma” and trust
“It was a lot and very deep,” Mireia Oriol says of her role Soul. “I wanted to control everything, to know perfectly [cada detalle], with many realities that I didn’t experience either and I had to do a lot of research and be very specific. Because in the end It required me to have very good control over my body, my voice. (…). At first, I doubted myself a lot. He said, “I’m not capable of that.” And learning makes you capable and the fact that you do it.
“During filming, I was very scared,” says Claudia Rozet. “Every day I put on a huge stone. You try and you have these mechanisms [cosa] which often happens. And, already in itself, the character was complex and also has a lot of weights. So at some point there was a combination of things from me and things from her. [Deva]. But, thanks to my teammates, team and Sergio [G. Sánchez]little by little I have learned to let go of this fear a enjoy and trust“.
It can be assumed that the directors helped a lot. According to Mireia Oriol, “[Sergio G. Sánchez y Kike Maíllo] They make a great combination, very cool.” And for her, one thing is “sensitivity and intuition,” and the other is “intuition, action.” As such, “I’m very proud of this series and everything they’ve created and that it’s reaching the world. [a través de Netflix] He thinks it’s incredible.” But Soul “makes you wonder, puts a lot in doubt and lays them out on the table from different angles.”

“These are very universal, very intimate topics that can touch you deep inside,” says Claudia Roset. “And there is a combination of these great truths within a fictional universe that you may call [la atención] of many people”. And ’cause it makes me a little dizzy [pensar que van a ver tu trabajo en todo el mundo]”. However, both interpreters know that “this is profession is a constant uncertainty“. “My father always tells me this,” Mireya Oriol says. “One who is an official.”
“But the march suits us very well,” laughs Claudia Roset. What, on the other hand, told us about your favorite actresses. “One that I found in My crazy diary [2013-2015] and i really liked it Jody is“, he tells us. “She is the woman that I love, she has completely captivated me. In comedy or drama. It’s really cool because it looks like he’s going to kiss you or kill you.” However, among Spaniards, he stays with Adriana Ugarte.
“And there are other links that I like [también] a lot and what you can see and touch, as she is my teacher, Christina Alcazar [conocida por Cuéntame cómo pasó]and I think it weighs more on me than [cualquier otra] on screen,” he says. “Someone who is closer is more valuable to me because he is more real.” And, if his fellow Netflix series patchmate has to choose, he doesn’t seem too hesitant. “I’m going to say Phenomenon: Meryl Streep“, he declares. “And I love it Veronica Echegi whenever I see her.”
“Alma” and prejudice against Spanish cinema
“Platforms have allowed this globalization [de los contenidos audiovisuales nacionales]”- comments Mireia Oriol. “For Spain and many other countries, the reference point was the United States. But now the prism is turning more towards Europe, for example. And Spain is also starting to have its own important references, and some works are made under its own brand.” And for Claudia Roset:[los prejuicios contra el cine español se basan en cosas] it’s not real“.
“There are gems, but in many cases it happens that until they are evaluated abroad, we do not allow ourselves to continue research, because we lack confidence,” he continues. “There are great ideas, very good materials and great actors. You just need to take a small leap of risk and confidence and move forward. Get motivated. How in Soul, in which there was so much desire and so much enthusiasm that from the very beginning the inertia of those around was noticeable. And you ate it all.”
On the other hand, that this intrigue develops in Asturias This, as already mentioned, is a plus for the cast. “It was a very important factor for me,” Clauda Rozet insists. “When I received casting, the first thing I read was: “Asturias”. I didn’t know her and envelops you in a magical atmosphere that does half the work for you, in specially selected places, very hidden places. It made me absorb and experience many things as if they were authentic.”
The ritual of going to the movies and streaming sites
Mireia Oriol, who fell in love with the Luarca and whom we have already been able to interview for the film Pact (2018), follows neither the genre of the latter nor Soul. “I didn’t eat much thrillerreally,” he admits. “Although I’m hooked on weird things [desde 2016]and I became immune to fears. So now I could still watch horror alone, which was unthinkable before.” A fact that may be due to the fact that the “habits” of viewers have “changed a lot”.
“I like to go to the cinema; it’s like a whole event,” he explains. “However, I think the platforms have also provided a lot of accessibility and going to the movies is very expensive. I want to walk every day and I can’t. I would like to go further.” And Claudia Roset “understands fear and controversy [con las plataformas de streaming frente a las salas comerciales] because going to the cinema is a rituala moment to comment as we walk away… We miss being there. [Pero] It’s a different time now”
For many series [y películas] let it be on platformsyou will never lose the love you have [por ir al cine]”, – he points out. “And, in the end, this is a way that everyone can use. much easier access to things that were once a privilege. [Así que este asunto] he has a double face. But I think that the ritual will never be lost, because we all have it deep inside. I hope not because otherwise I will chain myself [en el cine]. It’s something that can’t go away.”
