Dalma Maradona and Julieta Cayetina: revelations about sex, family, and old age
Dalma Maradona discusses her role in a play that explores themes of sexuality and aging with actress and director Julieta Cayetina.
Dalma Maradona, the daughter of the late Argentine soccer legend Diego Maradona, is set to take on a provocative role in the play 'Al final las tragedias no mejoran a nadie,' written and directed by Julieta Cayetina. The narrative centers around Cecilia, a young woman on the verge of giving birth, who encounters two widowed older women, Luisa and Berta, who begin to explore their own sexuality again after losing their spouses. This exploration opens up discussions about sexuality in later life, challenging societal stereotypes regarding aging and intimacy.
Maradona and Cayetina share a deep friendship that enriches their collaborative process in the theater. Their connection allows for a unique chemistry that is palpable, adding depth to their artistic expressions and the themes they tackle in the play. Both women also reflect on their respective experiences with motherhood and their family legacies, highlighting the influence of their grandparents and how it shapes their views on family and adulthood.
The play thus not only entertains but also aims to provoke thought regarding established norms surrounding aging and sexuality. By addressing these topics, it speaks to a broader audience, encouraging conversations about the realities of sexual relationships among older individuals, and promotes a greater acceptance of age-related issues in society.
