Few actresses give the grade in all fields of the profession. Itziar Castro could do it all, comedy, singing, dancing… he has given his all in every curve of the road and has gone in an act of service, like Molière or Mary Santpere. This is the reality of the show. I was captivated by seeing her as a madam in a Paral·lel cabaret and I signed her as a cuplet player in a production with a live orchestra, where she was watched by Sara Montiel herself.
So Itziar was already pointing out ways. With her I discovered that a good actress is capable of singing well, whereas a good singer often doesn’t know how to act. Unapologetic and decisive, she embodied a proud beauty that found the space she was looking for in the profession. She achieved it with determination, step by step, by appearing in short scenes in countless films. The secondary role is the one that maintains the relevance of the stories told.
She was happy and hard-working, often from chaos, the only starting point that guarantees interpretive effectiveness. She had Concha Velasco as a mirror and you can already see from her the haste she gave him to run after her. I am left with the image of the tango in which he crushed Xavier Boada, his partner in the show I directed, to the ground. Without a doubt, a powerful, unique actress.
