00:00Zoey, the truth is, seeing you dance causes a feeling of freedom and chaos at the same time

00:07that seems to have a lot to do with the theme and message of this film.

00:11How was it to return to your origins as a dancer?

00:14Chaos, but I also think it has always been like that.

00:19It is a part of me that is so important, a big part of who I am

00:28and finally being able to share that, to reconnect with that part of my life

00:33was a very nice thing.

00:35You know, my daughters went to the same hip-hop school as your son

00:40and I have seen him several times because I went to look for them and I have seen him dance.

00:44Here in Los Angeles.

00:48And there is a scene where you dance, which is your son dancing.

00:52I mean, do you instill that in them?

00:56Yes, yes, yes.

00:58But I know that there are people who do not believe that the attitudes that one obtains in life are hereditary.

01:07But when I see my children, perhaps the environment where they are growing up,

01:12my husband and I are both artists, he is multidisciplinary

01:15because he does art in different ways, means, and I have also started doing that.

01:21The children are surrounded by that.

01:24For me, as I was a dancer since I was little,

01:30it is like every year I always try to put them in the dance.

01:34And there is a part of me that is because I want them to follow something

01:38that for me was a very great passion.

01:40But the other part of me is because I know the benefits,

01:44mainly for men, that they know how to move their body.

01:48Totally.

01:49And well, your character Rita has there also,

01:52it is like seeing a moral a little confused, right?

01:58Easily broken.

02:00What do you think of that and how did you approach it?

02:03You know that I set aside my reservations as a person

02:11because that way I would not be able to be in the world of Rita.

02:16What I allowed myself to feel and what I always wanted to feel

02:20was the despair that she felt of being able to feel that she was worth something,

02:26that she was worth so much or more than the people around her,

02:30that she deserved success and power,

02:33that they were things that she had a lust to obtain,

02:36that is, it is what it is.

02:38And also living in her flesh where she was a very shy person,

02:44with a lot of intelligence, a lot of curiosity, but very shy.

02:47So when she met a force like what Emilia is,

02:52she was afraid, but it was also an admiration and a curiosity,

02:58it was like a gravity, a magnetism that she felt towards her.

03:03And having worked with Carla and having experienced all this issue

03:07of transformation and gender identity,

03:11has your perspective on this issue changed in any way?

03:16No, I have always had great respect for the life of others

03:21and for the decisions of others,

03:23of a brother or a sister in life, on earth.

03:28What I have is that I have grown,

03:31I have more knowledge of the conversations

03:35to which I was invited to be part of

03:38and the questions that she allowed us all to ask,

03:42and what she also wanted to share from the heart.

03:45She is an incredible actress,

03:50whether she is trans or not,

03:53she is a woman with principles and values and an indisputable talent,

03:58and I am very happy and very proud that she had this opportunity.

04:02Because she has so much more to give,

04:06and sometimes as an artist,

04:11what I hate the most, the kryptonite of an artist,

04:15is that he cannot make his art.
