Sabrina Otegui / Buenos Aires, Argentina. With an extensive and well-known international career in film as well as theater, the Argentine actor, Eduardo Blanco, was working until January in Madrid on the play by Juan Jose Campanella Parque Lezama. This year he will star in El Vasco (The Basque) a film co-produced in Argentina by Prisma (Cordoba,) and Oeste films (Mendoza) and by Pausoka Entertainment on the Basque side.
Nevertheless, this isn’t his first project under the direction of a Basque. In 2018, he starred in When you Stop Loving Me, an opera by Igor Legorreta, that allowed him to work side by side with Basque actors and actresses in the “marvelous Donostia" “in all its aspect,” and above all enjoying the food.
Filming El Vasco that began preproduction in February had to cancelled due to the pandemic, but will resume, if all goes well, in October. “It is a comedy that moves us that we can all relate to…” What else does Blanco tell us about El Vasco, about When you Stop Loving Me, and about his own experiences as the son of Galician immigrants? All that and more in the video.
Mila esker, Eduardo!
