00:00I'm at the cemetery because Arturo Puig has just arrived.
00:05He's devastated.
00:06That's right, Flor.
00:07There's Alejandro Huati, we can hear you.
00:09This image that expresses the absolute pain of Arturo Puig,
00:14who now greets Marcelo de Bellis and many of the actors
00:19who came to say goodbye to the German jungle.
00:24Yes, Arturo is accompanied by his three grandchildren,
00:29by his two sons, Jimena and Juan.
00:33He has just arrived at the cemetery of La Chacarita,
00:36where a mass will be held and then
00:42the Pantheon of Actors.
00:44Many actors who are slowly
00:49returning to the car that brought the German jungle
00:55and are slowly coming to accompany him
00:59in this moment of so much pain.
01:03You were very concerned about the news
01:07that was known yesterday afternoon.
01:09Carlos Rothenberg, who yesterday was one of those who communicated
01:13through the Multitheatro account,
01:15confirmed this unfortunate news.
01:18He also comes to greet Arturo Puig.
01:23Many people, many colleagues from the world of shows.
01:27Ale, the truth is that I knew he was a person,
01:30they are a very dear marriage,
01:32but the truth is that the signs of affection are innumerable.
01:35And above all, all the people who approached,
01:38from Yankelevich down.
01:40Gustavo, who was far away from Arturo for a long time
01:43and who, fortunately, is also now,
01:45for the whole issue that he had not directed Arturo to Susana in Punta del Este,
01:48Marta González, Nora Carpena,
01:50all of them were there this morning.
01:52Do you know that I have in my head the voice of Selva?
01:54Yes, me too.
01:56The only loved one, because it was a unique being,
01:59Selva Aleman, unique boy, Arturo.
02:01They are divine beings.
02:04Such good people, so humble.
02:06So good, yes.
02:07Not to mention the talent.
02:09I speak as a person.
02:10Humility, right?
02:11Because not only was she immense as an actress,
02:13but the humility was a life and a trajectory.
02:17You know that there are the grandchildren,
02:19Nicolai, Elisabetta and Santos,
02:22who are boys who had a hard time having their daughter Ximena,
02:25who are from Russia, the grandchildren.
02:27And they were the great love, they are the great love, sorry,
02:30of Arturo and Selva.
02:32A couple, Flor, who is known working on a novel.
02:36They were both in a relationship.
02:38Married.
02:39They were married, Arturo married with two children.
02:41They separate from their respective partners
02:43and make up this love story that lasts 50 years.
02:45They worked in theater, they did The Price,
02:47Arthur Miller together.
02:48Well, she shined twice on the theme of Virginia Woolf.
02:52And this last work in the San Martín Theater,
02:54which is a long journey into the night, by Eugene O'Neill,
02:57that they shined in an absolute way together on stage.
03:02The video that they ended up dancing on stage
03:04is to cry.
03:05And what I tell you, I remember his character,
03:08in many of the TV shows,
03:10he already started with David Stiebel in 1959.
03:12Imagine how young he is.
03:13He took the last name of his stepfather, Oscar León.
03:15His stepfather, do you remember?
03:16And daughter of Carmen Vallejo, great, huge.
03:19A wonderful comedian.
03:21And what I remember is Elvita in Malparida.
03:24We talked all the time.
03:25I loved that novel so much with Juana and with Salerete.
03:28Well, Ganon Martín in the eye, do you remember?
03:30Sure, he created an incredible character.
03:32He said, let me create, let me create this character.
03:34Well, Ganon Martín Fierro for that novel.
03:36Sure.
03:37Well, many generations met her there.
03:40They met her with Malparida.
03:42Sure.
03:43What was it, in 2011, 2012?
03:46With Manzalo Heredia and with Juana Biale.
03:48What to miss, that's why I say that young boys
03:50don't have contact with our characters.
03:52Well, and I think we can also link
03:55with what we talked about yesterday,
03:57with how necessary Argentine fictions are.
04:00Because to me, particularly, that I grew up
04:03watching fictions.
04:04Of the novel, of course.
04:05Through all the unitary cycles
04:07that existed on Argentine television.
04:09The fictions that were on Channel 7.
04:11I mean, I'm talking about Channel 7, Channel 9,
04:13Channel 13, Channel 11 at the time.
04:15All, all.
04:16It was, of course, and look how they hit you,
04:18because the truth is that it is not the same.
04:20It is not the same to be watching a novel
04:22without desmercing, and the truth is that nothing,
04:24because I have absolutely nothing with Turkish novels,
04:27but it is not the same to identify with your actors,
04:30with the people, you see?
04:31Because the truth is that...
04:32With your language, with your culture,
04:33with your customs, with what is yours.
04:35Because they see you in the mirror,
04:36because they are talking about you.
04:38That's what they did.
04:39That's what makes me sadder
04:40than what's happening with this cultural change,
04:43obviously that it migrated to another place.
04:45But it's not the same,
04:46because there are many people
04:47who don't have access to the platforms.
04:48Most of them.
04:49Most people don't have access.
04:50It makes us all sad.
04:52I see Laura broken,
04:53because obviously she's been around
04:55for more time than us, right?
04:58But I also thought that a woman leaves
05:01to look at the beautiful side,
05:04and also because I feel that how badly we live
05:07because death hurts us so much
05:09that we should learn to live in another way.
05:11She had such a full life,
05:12I also think that, right?
05:13Yes, of course.
05:14She leaves at 80 years old
05:15with a beautiful life full of love,
05:18of people who admired her,
05:19who loved her,
05:20with a husband who always accompanied her,
05:23with a story with ups and downs,
05:26obviously, like all marriages.
05:27No, a beautiful life.
05:28A beautiful life.
05:29A beautiful life.
05:30A beautiful life.
05:31You know she said it
05:32in a very short note on Telefe Noticias,
05:33in a segment that they have...
05:34Yes, it's beautiful.
05:35I have lived,
05:37and you know that they ask her that
05:39and she says,
05:40the truth is that I have lived well
05:42because I have lived in the present,
05:44she said,
05:45and with everything, right?
05:46It was made.
05:47So, I swear, that,
05:48and you see it and the truth is that,
05:49nothing,
05:50it excites you for the meaning.
05:51And she leaves without suffering too,
05:52right?
05:53She even leaves well.
05:54With plenitude.
05:55A death for a few chosen ones,
05:56the truth is that,
05:57it's not to say,
05:58ah, that she died,
05:59that she died,
06:00but I say...
06:01No, well,
06:02a woman who,
06:03with all the life she had,
06:04with everything they are saying,
06:05precisely highlighting that she lived in the present,
06:07that she enjoyed her partner,
06:09her children,
06:10her grandchildren,
06:11her profession,
06:12until yesterday.
06:13Fifty years next to the man she loved,
06:14so, imagine.
06:15And nothing,
06:16she sleeps,
06:17basically,
06:18she did not suffer at all.
06:19And she was the first woman
06:20who publicly said
06:21that she could not be a mother.
06:22Yes.
06:23Also.
06:24And she set the example.
06:25Of course.
06:26That she could not be a mother,
06:27but that she enjoyed
06:28Arturo's children
06:29Of course.
06:30As if they were hers,
06:31just like the grandchildren.
06:32Yes.
06:33And she did not lose that bond
06:34that Arturo made,
06:35as if he did not make her feel different.
06:36Exactly.
06:37And another thing
06:38that was happening to her now,
06:39particularly at this moment,
06:40that many people were surprised by,
06:41because they were full of projects,
06:42they were organizing
06:43the summer season.
06:44And they were going to go to Mar del Plata.
06:45To Mar del Plata,
06:46with a work,
06:47and there it marks you,
06:48the desire, right?
06:49The desire.
06:50The desire that they had.
06:51Of course,
06:52it is what held them up,
06:53whenever they were seen
06:54so young,
06:55despite the age they were,
06:56it is a good example,
06:57because the projects
06:58are the ones that hold us up,
06:59no matter how old they are.
07:00The desire and the vigilance.
07:01Of course.
07:02And you say to anyone,
07:03Arturo and Selva
07:04are part of our family,
07:05of our cultural heritage,
07:06and that is what we are losing.
07:07No,
07:08and also these actresses,
07:09it is not that you say,
07:10oh well,
07:11because she had a training,
07:12this actress was born.
07:13Oh,
07:14in the blood.
07:15That she had it in the blood,
07:16because you listened to her
07:17say any text,
07:18I remember the one
07:19by Virginia Woolf,
07:20the one you mentioned.
07:21Yes,
07:22the one about Virginia Woolf.
07:23And the truth is
07:24that she was a woman
07:25who was admirable,
07:26admirable,
07:27but I enjoy
07:28good theater.
07:29Yes,
07:30tell me,
07:31Wati,
07:32we are listening.
07:33Yes,
07:34I just wanted
07:35to contribute
07:36a story
07:37that tells
07:38the commitment
07:39that Selva had
07:40with the theater,
07:41that she had been offered
07:42a role
07:43in Walking Dead,
07:44one of the most
07:45successful
07:46TV series
07:47in the world.
07:48Wow,
07:49that's true.
07:50And she did not want to leave.
07:51And she was a week
07:52from debuting
07:53in the theater
07:54and had to say
07:55no,
07:56because
07:57the rehearsals were already
07:58there,
07:59a week was missing
08:00for the premiere
08:01and that story
08:02tells
08:03how she was
08:04and the commitment
08:05she had
08:06with the work.
08:07And you also
08:08talked about
08:09the strong
08:10love story
08:11that today
08:12in the morning
08:13in the house
08:14in the morning
08:15everyone
08:16stood out,
08:17the more than 50 years
08:18who were
08:19together
08:20Arturo Puig,
08:21she turned
08:2280 years
08:23in April
08:24and Arturo
08:25turns 80
08:26on November
08:2717th,
08:28a whole life
08:29together
08:30and that's why
08:31the great
08:32pain
08:33that marked
08:34this news
08:35Flor.
08:36Yes,
08:37as is,
08:38a committed woman
08:39with the companions,
08:40with human rights,
08:41the truth
08:42that everything
08:43she has done
08:44in this
08:45extensive trajectory,
08:46I think
08:47there are few people
08:48who can say
08:49that they have done
08:50countless jobs
08:51that she had,
08:52I don't know,
08:53I was going over
08:54a little
08:55and it's admirable,
08:56right?
08:57Fortunately,
08:58she won the Conex,
08:59she won the
09:00Ace de Oro prize
09:01for the work
09:02that made
09:03Mothers and Children,
09:04that the
09:05Franjela
09:06has Martin Fierro,
09:07there I cling
09:08a little
09:09to this idea
09:10of Karina
09:11who was recognized
09:12in life,
09:13which is the most
09:14important thing
09:15because a lady
09:16on stage,
09:17a lady
09:18who has
09:19preponderated
09:20the Argentine
09:21stage,
09:22deserves
09:23the recognition
09:24and also
09:25the duo
09:26with Arturo,
09:27because
09:28they were
09:29very close
09:30and they
09:31always
09:32chose
09:33to work
09:34together.
09:35They
09:36always
09:37accompanied
09:38each other.
09:39They
09:40were
09:41very
09:42friends.
09:43They
09:44already told you
09:45that they
09:46fought for
09:4710 years,
09:4810 years
09:49that they
09:50couldn't
09:51work again
09:52because
09:53the truth
09:54is that
09:55when you
