Recently, she was awarded the Special Jury Prize at the prestigious SXSW festival for her brilliant performance in the film ‘Mammifera’, directed by Liliana Torres. This recognition is a testimony to her talent and dedication in the world of cinema.
A Versatile Career
In addition to her outstanding participation in ‘Mammifera’, Maria has been involved in other exciting projects. Recently, she had a successful stay at the Teatre Nacional de Catalunya with the play ‘Els criminals’. She is also looking forward to the premiere of the new comedy-drama ‘House on Fire’, directed by Dani de la Orden. Meanwhile, she has returned to the stage of La Villarroel to once again play the role of Ella in ‘L’illa deserta’, directed by Marc Artigau.
Cultural Recommendations
As a culture expert, Maria Rodríguez Soto shares four unmissable proposals to enjoy this weekend:
A Book: ‘The Bad Habit’ by Alana S. Portero
Maria recommends the novel by the talented Madrid writer Alana S. Portero, titled ‘The Bad Custom’. This captivating story tells the moving journey of a girl trapped in a body she cannot inhabit. It is a dazzling and unique story that has generated a great impact even before its publication.
A Movie or Series: ‘Infinite Memory’
Maria highlights the latest feature-length documentary by the talented Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi, titled ‘Infinite Memory’. This film immerses us in the lives of Augusto and Paulina, an acclaimed journalist and actress respectively. After 25 years together, Augusto is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, which triggers an emotional story about the fear of losing memories. A masterpiece that you cannot miss.
A Concert: Parcels
Maria gives us a special recommendation: the concert by the Australian band Parcels at the next Festival Vida de Vilanova i la Geltrú, which will take place from July 4 to 6. This event promises to be an unforgettable musical experience, with an impressive line-up that you cannot miss.
A Play: ‘Prima Facie’
Finally, Maria invites us to enjoy the monologue ‘Prima Facie’, starring the talented Barcelona actress Victòria Luengo. This play, written by Suzie Miller, is risky, theatrical and full of artistic possibilities. With an intelligent, fun and moving dramatic construction, it is a theatrical experience that you cannot miss.
