"Julieta Otero's Journey: Achievements with 'According to Roxi', Comedic Take on Menopause, and Collaboration with Mario Pergolini"
In the world of arts, Julieta Otero is a multi-talented figure, excelling as an actress, playwright, screenwriter, director, and educator. Her latest project, the solo show "I Don't Remember Things," premiered on February 8 and has since captivated audiences with its poignant exploration of the transition to menopause.
Otero's character, Mariana, shares anecdotes and reflections about menopause, questioning societal beliefs about the experience. The show, which centres on themes of menopause and mental fog, is the result of a close collaboration between Otero and director Dalia Gutmann.
Their partnership involved deep conversations about the emotional and cognitive challenges associated with menopause. Together, they developed a show that blends humor, vulnerability, and insight to shed light on an often overlooked and stigmatized phase of life. Otero’s raw storytelling combined with Gutmann’s direction allows the show to effectively capture the confusion, frustration, and humor in navigating memory lapses and identity shifts during menopause.
"I Don't Remember Things" is a testament to Otero's personal experiences with forgetting things after a period of high mental load. The show will be performed in various venues across Argentina, including Teatro Roma (Avellaneda) on August 2nd, Café Berlín (CABA) on September 6th, Centro Cultural San Martín (San Isidro) on the 12th, El Teatro Bar (La Plata) on the 20th, and Café Berlín (CABA) on October 18th.
Otero, who is the mother of actress Violeta and pianist Margarita, finds touring with her shows rewarding. Her daughters, Violeta and Margarita, are fans of "I Don't Remember Things" and have attended multiple performances.
In addition to her work in theatre, Otero is currently working on the program "La puta ama" on eltrece, writing alongside other talented individuals. She has also directed plays such as "El reproche" by Víctor Hugo Morales, a play that deals with the theme of jealousy in a couple, with a male protagonist.
Despite not experiencing menopause symptoms herself due to a fibroid that led to the removal of her uterus, Otero believes that nature is wise and that menopause might be a time for women to become more peaceful and introspective. Mariana, in the show, wonders if menopause might be a time for women to start thinking more about themselves and enjoying it. She also declares "let's put an end to the myth that men age better."
Otero, the daughter and sister of musicians, lived in Avellaneda until she was 26, graduating from the Normal School of Avellaneda. Her acting career has spanned various mediums, including the series "According to Roxi" alongside Azul Lombardía. She is also the author and director of two plays, "Scorpio" and "The Theory of Disenchantment," which will continue to be shown.
