'Telmo Lobo. The Mystery of the Captain' (Alfaguara Children and Youth) is the 'request' from Emilio Aragón's four grandchildren (Havana, 65 years old) to their grandfather Bebo, as they call him, to tell them a story. And to them, Martín, Aruca, Teo, and Cuba, aged between 1 and 10 years, he dedicates this adventure book “for being the inspiration that fuels my creativity and the joy that fills my life.” The book, the first of a saga, tells the adventures of three siblings (Telmo, Mia, and Sammy Lobo) who conspire to search for their father and grandfather through space and time.
–Without a doubt. At 30 or 40 years old you are busy working and miss many beautiful moments in your children's lives, and with my grandchildren I don't want that to happen. That's why I try to do all the creative work in the morning and in the afternoon I try to free myself to be with them and listen to the stories they bring from school.
–The love is different. Before becoming a grandfather my friends would tell me 'you'll see when you are one' and then you discover that it's love cubed, an impressive thing. The love towards your children is unconditional and the grandchild is that extension of that unconditional love.
–The goal of the book is for them to have fun and read, although I know it's hard to compete against FIFA 2024. It can appeal to children aged 10 or 14, but parents will also enjoy it. I want to think it's a book they'll steal from their children.
–All of Julio Verne's books, 'The Famous Five', 'Treasure Island', and 'Moby Dick'.
–At home we were always very creative and from those dusts come these muds. In the end, I am a storyteller and I tell stories with the lyrics of a song or a script, with a play, with a television series or with a book. And you also need a travel companion who understands you, supports you, and encourages you and my wife has been an essential support in that sense. I'm no longer so much in the era of juggling plates; to write I need time and writing a novel requires maturation and creating an atmosphere that only happens if it's something continuous.
–No, that's the good and bad thing about creativity, that you can keep writing at 80 years old.
–This I've followed sideways because I've tried to take a step back in that sense. I'm very distant from TV and hardly watch any television. Only some espionage series. I hear echoes of what's happening but I've stepped away from it. I'm focused on other things like the book and my next movie. I don't have social networks and I don't want to spend time on these things either. I'm quite disconnected.
–Yes. It's fantastic to see how in a group of people maybe someone who is 16 years old has no idea who I am but a couple does, but she says she loved 'Family Doctor' and he says 'The Goose Game'. In the end it's many years; I've gone from La 1 to platforms and in between through regional channels, private ones…
–Don't believe it… when you had a 47% share and dropped to 44% you'd say what happened, we're sinking, hahaha.
–History is what it is and it can't be changed and politics wants to drag us to places many of us don't want to go.
–It's pure semantics. Circus is circus and politics is politics.
–Everything that feeds my soul, any artistic discipline, be it ballet, choreography, a book… Now I'm taking jazz classes with Pepe Rivero. I wake up and the first thing I receive is classical music. From politics I don't have to read anything; echoes are enough for me.
–In that task we all have to push forward. I studied in Boston and on the banners hanging from lampposts there were photos of Celtics players and Symphony Orchestra musicians. People know who was the star of the Celtics but also who conducted their orchestra.
–It would never hurt. It's always welcome to do some program like this. We've thought about doing some program related to classical music… It would be necessary to make one.
–It's terrible; it's like a nightmare. The terrible thing is getting used to images and forgetting about Africa… First Ukraine, now Lebanon... but there are very serious problems in other parts of the world that are forgotten because of the media impact this other thing has. Everything is terrible. Hopefully everyone could see 'Godspell' (a musical he directs currently showing at Poliorama Theater in Barcelona which will soon tour around twelve cities in Spain), because we forget what's basic and essential: we're all brothers—you & me—the person across from us—what madness is this? Everything boils down simply: love thy neighbor as thyself—remove religious sense—does it make sense? Of course it does...
