Kukuli Morante He returned to Peruvian television. The Peruvian artist, remembered for her emblematic role as ‘Gladys’ from ‘Al Fondo Hay Sitio’, has now changed television houses and moved to Latina, a channel that has been betting on soap operas and series and that has given the opportunity to new talents. to do what they love most.
Among the range of actors and actresses of the soap opera ‘Pituca without Lucas’, There is Morante, who this time is given the opportunity on the small screen with a character that she has embraced and that allows her to play with the personality that she does not have. ‘Conchita’ It is the character that Kukuli brings to life and with which a new space has been opened in the hearts of his followers. About this new challenge, the artist spoke with Infobae Peru and told some details.
The artist mentioned being happy with the opportunity that the production has given her to make an antagonist. This is the first time she has developed it, which makes it more special.
“I am grateful for this beautiful opportunity. Deep down, it’s like I had the desire to do something different, because so far I haven’t had an antagonist in any of my participations on television,” he said.
In addition, he highlighted the closeness he has with his colleagues and the production team. “A beautiful family has been generated between the actors and the production team. We listen to each other, because there are times when you arrive at a production where everything is already clear and they impose themselves. It is a wonderful opportunity that has come into my life to enjoy it, to be grateful for it,” he said.
However, he stressed that everything is fiction and that ‘Conchita’ She is very different from her and that means she can develop her talent as an actress, doing things that she would not do in her personal life.
“He is a character that does not have much of Kukuli. The comical side perhaps, yes, but she wouldn’t compare her to Kukuli. For that reason I also enjoy it, because in acting we are given the possibility of doing what we have always wanted to do, a character that we have desired and with actions that we have desired,” she added.
Kukuli He says that he came to this novel through a casting call. Although she has decided to block her phone so as not to receive calls, it was a coincidence that led her to respond to a message that invited her to participate in this adventure.
“I passed a casting. Since the pandemic I have locked my phone, because I live with my little son. It was a beautiful coincidence, having read the message telling me if I was available to have a casting. Nothing else. He didn’t tell me what, he didn’t tell me what character, he didn’t tell me. At that moment it was just knowing my availability,” she confessed about that moment.
After several calls and confirmations, the artist was summoned for the list of actors for this novel, but she did not know who she would share roles with. She knew it until the day they met.
“I didn’t know who he worked with, because everything was secret. She had no idea until the day they set up the chat. Until we got to the reading and then we just knew who everyone was. It was nice, because all of that was magical,” she said.
Kukuli has the character who is Jorge Aravena’s partner, so he has had to share roles with the renowned actor. Regarding this experience, she mentions that she has learned a lot and that her colleague always comes with extra data to improve teamwork.
“I always enjoy learning from all my colleagues. He has had a lot of experience outside. And I love that it always comes with some note, some idea, some proposal and we learn,” he told Infobae Peru.
Furthermore, he hopes that the public enjoys his work and that of his colleagues, who have put their heart into this project.
“Maybe I can bring you some messages that will help you overcome many moments in your life. That’s what we’re also here for, to have beautiful communication,” added the artist.
‘Pituca Without Lucas’ is the competition of productions like ‘There is room at the bottom’ either ‘The Other Concha’but Kukuli He doesn’t see it that way, but considers that this is a space for more actors to show their talent. “For me, it is like an opening of opportunities for more artist and actor friends who can share and transmit their art,” she said.
He highlighted that it is the first time that he is on the San Felipe channel, because there is the opportunity to show more actors in his productions. “I have not been to Latina before either, because Latina is just beginning to bet on national production of fiction and I applaud it greatly,” he said.
However, he confessed that his character in ‘Al Fondo Hay Sitio’ is extremely remembered, to the point that many believed he was really from the jungle.
“During all these years I have been recognized as a character that I had on another channel (Gladys), who love a lot, that I also love a lot, that is in my heart and will always be. And they have still thought that I am charapa, that that is my name,” she said.
Therefore, when changing the channel and appearing in a new fiction, she feared that she would be confused, but she reveals that the opposite happened.. Kukuli indicated that people already recognize ‘Conchita’, although the affection for ‘Gladys’ is still valid. “One of my fears was that being here they would continue to call me the same. My current character also has curls, she is enterprising, jovial, fun, but it turns out not. The novel has already been released and all the people I meet, known and unknown, already call me ‘Conchita’. That shows the impact that the soap opera is having,” she recalled, excited.
Although she is very happy with this new challenge, the artist does not close the opportunity to any character. Therefore, when she was consulted by Infobae Peru about the possibility of returning to ‘There is room at the bottom’did not rule it out.
“I love acting, I enjoy every opportunity that comes my way to continue acting. With this I give you the answer. If the opportunity arises to be able to play a character, I do it, I throw myself into it and I enjoy it, regardless of whether or not I am going to be famous,” she said.
In social networks, Kukuli Morante He shares a lot of time with his son, but he knows that work also demands a lot of time. However, she emphasizes that she will always find a way to have time for her little one, although as he grows up she tries to make him a more independent person.
“I don’t know how I do it either (to have time for everything). That’s part of my personality. I try to create routines, I finish working and so on. I do them because I also want my son to start generating his own and little by little to become more and more independent. I think what moves us is love. You can never relax, you can never let your guard down because at any moment something happens,” she added.
