A day in the life of… Jean François Casanovas

Under the Argentine sky, a talented French

The department of the Pueyrredón avenue, where Jean François Casanovas has been living for years and she does not think to change itself, is overflowed. Detail: a great perchero crosses small living, and it is seen of everything. Sevillian pens, spangles, printings setentones, spots, lúrex, tul, plumetí. And thus, between rags (prettiest) and capelines it invites to take something. "Coffee does not have because I do not like. A banana? My mother, who in Paris dedicated itself to mature bananas (with gas, a very interesting task), said to me that she eats one every day because they have much potassium. And I fulfill ", comments the eccentric, acid and talented parisiense actor (already very aporteñado) while it smokes its cigarette number ten.

For years it has been living with a phase angle of eight hours, and takes it with naturalness. "I chose east work, I do not have silver, but I can live on which I like. What plus? So I ended up being used to to me eating in the morning to four, to have breakfast to two of afternoon, to have lunch to six. I am single, I have assumed that I am absolutely inaguantable, I do what one feels like to me. I finish finishing painted Small mouths, in the Alvear theater, but I follow with two spectacles that I do one behind the other, the week ends, in the Large house of the Theater. One is called Stairs; the other, the glicinas social club. In addition, I am about to to release one infantile one. I discovered that to the boys it amuses certain tétrico humor to them that handling, so I send with Baby Caviar."

It almost does not take alcohol, although it enchants to him, and it eats very light. It says that it would hate to get fat, since it would not support to have to make gymnastics.

"and yes, they are many things those that I do not support. For example, to handle. I either like to walk, neither the bars, nor the discotecas nor the cinemas. In fact, I do not like to leave, I am almost a monster. I like the solitude. Here inside the step very well. In addition, never I am single because I speak with same me. I am géminis, so always me retruco, I question myself. The other I is always ahi '."

It has close friends. Few, but good. "Renata Schussheim is my great friend. We are like brothers, we worked together. I know that always story with her, and vice versa. But we are not to speak to us by telephone every day. Because that either I do not like. It would never hang to me with a conversation. For that reason it is the answering machine… In aim. Better story what I like? Okey. Of Argentine television, nothing, because, pardon, makes sick to me. To only they interest the things of National Geographic, Planet Animal or films me. But I am something likes much, incredibly, and that is the light of Buenos Aires. For that reason 23 years ago I decided to remain."

It tells that when left from France with its company, it only knew that did not interest it to have left itself to live in Europe. "My idea was Australia or America of the South But the life brought to me here and, right of perpetual ownership, enamored that so special light to me with new country, the brightness of the Argentine sky. You do not see it, but we yes. In addition, he catched the imperfection to me. Argentina is the country where everything can happen. For that reason I remain. This it is, without a doubt, my place in the world."

Trick: "to control to me, no longer I buy tying of twenty cigarettes, but two of ten. Of this form, when I finish a package I feel it. But, good, equal I smoke the other… "

Tastes: "I like the good life. The alcohol, the food with all the ingredients, the candies. But I have 53 years, work with my body and must be controlled ".

Night: "the night is very interesting, and I do not say that it takes in the genes, but is something cultural. As my parents and grandparents dedicated themselves to mature bananas in the cellars had to rise very early to sell in the supply market. So my old one had my same schedules ".

Dictatorship: "I arrived at Argentina dictatorship in the heat of, but, by ignorance, never I was scared. It did not give account me. Until they censured my spectacle. To the time they raised the prohibition, but I had to change the name of the company since they descensuraron to me not officially. Stupid what… But, better, because thus Caviar was born ".

Beliefs: "I do not go to the church, but I believe that there is something superior, an organizing force. To that I do not create to them nothing is to the psychologists. But if they are people! They also have mambos, rise of the bad humor. Why I am going to do case to him to a mortal "

It assures that, except once, and only during two years, never it coexisted with anybody. "bank not to have to me to nobody close. I am like a estepario wolf. I have my land, my dominion. I do not want to have to make the show take care of another person. I do not like either nor interests to me. Then, if the price to have a pair is to sacrifice my internal comfort, I remain single. I do not imagine to have two toothbrushes in the bath. What yes I had was a wonderful dog, galgo Afghan Salomé call, that traveled with me by the world. But no longer."
