As an author:

How was your experience of listening to your work converted into a podcast?
It was very special, because it is a work that I listened to years ago and that was no longer performed, and it has meant recovering it and also forever. Now I can listen to it whenever I want.

What is your creative process like?
Normally, from a subject that moves me, that interests me, that needs to be said... I start to ask, to make interviews, to question, and with the material I then start to try to choose the best formula to represent them.

How long did it take you to write this play?
It is a simple process, between interviews and writing, I think it took between two and three months.

Do you follow any ritual when you write?
No, i tant de bo el seguís! Així seria més ordenada i disciplinada, crec

As an actress:
Had you ever worked on a project like this before?
No, not really, and I've wanted to participate in a theatrical podcast for a long time, because it's a format that really appeals to me.

How was the recording in the studio? Do you have any anecdotes?
I was able to work with actresses and friends whom I appreciate very much, and besides, listening to them and being directed with my own text made it very special.

How has it been working directed by Salvador Oliva?
Very easy. They respected my criteria and the opinions that I commented on my text, so I was very happy. I hope to be able to repeat.

Do you think this project should be continued?
Of course. The radio, the podcast, is a beautiful medium, and listening to theater while cooking, for example... I find it very welcoming and enriching.
