UNEXCUSED LOOKS WILL BE BREAKING THE SILENCE

I do not know how many of the people who comment on my texts have asked in public and private opinions, for the second season of Breaking the silence and luckily it seems that very soon, in the space where the stories have been transmitted, on Tuesdays, eleven chapters will be released of a series that was favored by critics and the public.

But this time, in order for renowned specialists to address, from various specialties, the what and why of issues such as bulling, inter- and intra-gender violence, the magazine Miradas sin excusas, directed by the renowned director Elena Palacio, will be released.

“The idea was to create a program for each chapter of Breaking the Silence, even when the magazine does not have to come out before or after the chapter, the magazine has 20 programs, 11 of which are dedicated to the new season and 9 to the first” , the director told me.

The charismatic Beatriz Gómez, a psychologist specializing in sexology linked to the counseling group of the Oscar Arnulfo Center, who runs a popular section in the Hola Habana Magazine, is the moderator of Miradas sin excusas that Karina Paz has as a producer for Altaír Reyes Raga and has the photograph of Ana María Gonzales.

Elena points out that “the magazine does not seek to explain, judge or talk about the series at all. In the editing process I looked for the way that the topic of the chapter was not mentioned, it simply talks about the topic, diversifies it, deepens, expands and is supported by several short audiovisual materials or fragments, in which the idea that these problems fits they are also manifesting at the international level and that they are fighting to stop them ”.

In an interview that I did some time ago with the directors of Rompiendo el silencio, Rolando Chiong and Legna Pérez Cruzata, they said “Although the theme of the first season of the series Rompiendo el silencio was violence against women and girls; As it is the most widespread, frequent and serious of gender violence, on this occasion we propose to treat gender violence in a broader sense. We will address both violence exerted by men towards women and that exerted by women towards men (inter-gender violence). In the same way, there will be stories that reflect violence exerted by women to women and men to men (intra-gender violence). “

The production team, in addition to Chino and Legna, is made up of: Director of Photography, Tony Sanchez; Original music, Amaury Ramírez Malberti; Maikel Pardini on this occasion in the realization of the soundtrack; Dramatist Advisor, Marisel Pestana; Specialized Advisor, Mareelen Diaz and Musicalizer, Rubén Gómez, and the directors plus Lucia Chiong, Mariela Lopez and Yasmin De Armas worked on the scripts.

The 45-minute chapters have a good invoice in a Cubavision and RTV Comercial production and feature the performances of a significant number of actors and actresses, including Tahimi Albariño, Bárbaro Marín, Irela Bravo, Cristina Obin, Cruz Pérez, Rubén Breña, Daisy Quinta, Rolando Chiong, Linda Soriano, Carlos Solar, Roly Chiong, Sandra Castillo, Yuny Bolaños, Armando Miguel, Ingrid Lobaina, Jennifer Gonzalez, Yerlin Pérez, Julio Cesar Ramirez, Yazmin Gómez, Armando Valdéz, Edith Massola and Jaqueline Arenal who returns to Cuban television with that role.

Verena Contreras from other times told me “I am very happy that the return to the Cuban small screen is with this series, which already had a first season when I was not here. In this second, the thing is about gender abuse, abuse in general, abuse at work, any type of abuse.

A hot topic for me, because I am also a great advocate for victims of any type of abuse, from psychological to physical of any kind. I think we make characters, but when our characters become spokespersons for our concerns, for our struggles, it is also a great opportunity.

In this case, the director is Chino, he has done an excellent job, the script is his too. I play a victim of abuse and, for the first time, I share a leading role with Pichi (Jorge Perugorría). “

Universal themes that are unfortunately in fashion all over the planet, are the ones that are worked on in this series that intends that you, reader or reader, look around you and detect any indication of these bad practices and fight against them, to make a country better and a more just society.
