Sabrina Gómez wins Theater Actress of the Year and claims the difference with “La Monstra”

Santo Domingo.– Actress Sabrina Gómez was recognized as Theater Actress of the Year at the Soberano Awards for her outstanding performance in the play La Monstra, a role that, according to her, involved a deep emotional and artistic commitment. During her statements, Gómez explained that the character is inspired by the story of Julia Pastrana, a 19th-century artist who suffered from a condition that caused her to have excessive body hair. Based on that figure, the actress reflected on social prejudices.

“Everything that people understand as different does not mean it is synonymous with monstrosity or immorality,” he expressed.

The interpreter pointed out that, throughout her life, she has also been the subject of criticism for aspects of her image and lifestyle.

“From a very young age I have been pigeonholed: the tattoos, the way I speak, the way I raise my children or my relationship with my partner. I believe that everyone, at some point, has felt identified with being labeled as something we are not,” she stated. Regarding the acting challenge that La Monstra represented, Gómez highlighted that the greatest challenge was to expose oneself emotionally on stage.

“The most demanding thing was showing myself vulnerable. In art, and especially in theater, I will never go on stage to deceive the audience. I need people to feel what I am feeling,” she affirmed.

Furthermore, he reaffirmed his love for the stage, assuring that theater is the central axis of his artistic life.

“I have breathed theater since I was very young. Transforming yourself into another person and making the audience feel and suffer with you, that is the greatest gift,” she concluded.
