Days away from returning to the tables with his sole proprietorship The tightrope walker, at the Maipo Theater, Mauricio Dayub I’m going through Cut by Lozano and talked regarding everything on the famous couch: the play that changed his life, his fatherhood at 53 and his role as a director in Immature, work that premieres next Thursday.
“There are many roles, many characters. I learned to play the accordion, I learned to climb on top of the treadmill, to balance on the skateboard. It was also an apprenticeship for me. Now I am studying Italian because a tour in Italy is being put together. If it were in English, I would say no, “joked the actor in reference to the play that won the 2021 Golden Sea Star award and became a real box office success since its premiere in 2019.
After noting that since he was a child he had a “very strong vocation”, Dayub assured that acting is not a job for him: “I always had the facility to take what was happening and represent it. My grandmother was very histrionic, she was my muse (…). Sometimes I have a hard time going on vacation because I feel like I’m on vacation all the time. Paula [Siero, su mujer] Please ask me to give up my vocation ”, he laughed, who in a few days will be back in the role of director with the work Immature: “It makes me very helpless, that’s why I don’t do it that often. I can’t make it end up as I imagine it to be ”, he added regarding this story starring Adrián Suar and Diego Peretti.
Regarding his privacy, the actor has been in a relationship with Siero for years, with whom he has a son named Rafael. “Fatherhood was unexpected. I always say that I believed that I was missing nothing and that when my son was born I realized that I was missing the main thing. It is a very particular revolution because you don’t really know what it is regarding and at the same time you learn everything quickly.. I didn’t know anything and following two weeks I knew clearly what my son might need. It is learned naturally. It is something extraordinary. I thought it was going to happen, that I was not going to have children … In fact, it appeared at my 53 years, “he revealed moved.
As for how he is as a father, he said: “I’m already a big daddy. I never slept well so there were no changes. I always wake up for my things, I write, I write down, I draw and then I continue, so he did not change anything. It is a different love and for which one does things that one would never do. I have been at the door of my neighborhood for my son to take photos of the people who passed by and sell them to them. Suddenly I found myself standing with a little sign that said: ‘Photo 100 pesos on the spot,’ “he recalled with a smile.
