“From local soap operas to being the protagonist of Netflix's first Peruvian film; this is the career of the Andean actress”, is the descent of the article written by Vogue — fashion and trends magazine — about the Peruvian actress Stephanie Cayo who has opened a whole debate on the social network Twitter. The note refers to the artist's participation in the production Until we meet again, which opens this Friday, March 18.
A web article in which they review her career, where she is from and her social networks, what hooked Internet users was the word “Andean actress”, due to its in-depth meaning in the face of a multicultural country between ethnicities and customs, leading to the discussion on how Peruvians are described in the international vision .
EL DEBATE EN TWITTER
The criticism for some is based on an alleged “cultural appropriation” and those who are in favor start by reference to the fact that Peru is considered an Andean country.
People who are in favor exemplify this by what is read in the passport “Andean Community” or to the point that Peru is an Andean country because it is part of the Andean mountain range. Another recall as an example the nickname of former Peruvian footballer Claudio Pizarro as 'Bomber of the Andes'.
Those who criticize the mention in the Vogue article, start from the concept of cultural appropriation, which is when they adopt a cultural element in diminishing its value or removing the true meaning of it. The debate reached the point where it is questioned whether Peru is seen as an “andean country”, “amazon country”, “creole country”, among other terms used in social networks.
So far, the Peruvian actress has not spoken about the news, she only shared on her Instagram the note (which caused the debate on Twitter). His last participation away from the stage was a statement after the release of the trailer for the Netflix movie “Until We Meet Again”, calling the social network “the mailbox of complaints”.
“I understand that there can be many different opinions and that's why, but they have no idea, they don't know what awaits them. First we complain because it is not done and then, when it is done, that 'why'. Besides, it's my country, your country, our country,” added the Peruvian actress.
DIFFICULTIES OF FILMING IN MACHU PICCHU
Stephanie Cayo said that starring in the first Peruvian Netflix film was a challenge that kept her quite nervous during the first week of recordings, especially since she had to play her role in the seventh wonder of the world.
“I spent it with a lot of pressure and a lot of mixed feelings for being reunited with my country, after a year of not having stepped on my land (...) Every day was like an overdose of feelingsb,” he said.
For his part, Iglesias considered it difficult to have to show the attractions of Cusco in less than 2 hours of tape. “It's very difficult to teach so much in so little. It is a very important merit and effort in the editing process. I know that there have been many scenes left to show,” he said.
“It is difficult to get ahead with a film with the restrictions that there were, with Sundays with a curfew, with time limitations, I think it has a lot of merit and our director must be very proud of having made it possible,” said the Spaniard.
