The actor leaves interpretations like 'The dog in the manger' and 'Life is a dream'. In addition to 'REC2' and 'The world around' in cinema, and 'Kosta. The Paradise ', in television series
Sometimes, the death of an actor is something more than simply the death of an idol, or the disappearance of that beloved character that has accompanied us all our lives or simply the goodbye in the memory of the celebrity of every day so persecuted on screen as out of it. Sometimes the death of an actor is just the death of an actor. And the surprise of his death comes to us, because it is enigmatic, close and indecipherable, like the death of a being that without family or other reasons we simply want. We don't know him, but we have something to do with him and he with us. Óscar Zafra, who died this Sunday at the age of 52, belonged to this group of intimate strangers, acquaintances without knowing what.
His long career in the theater can be counted by his notable performances in the National Classical Theater Company in productions such as' Life is a dream', by Calderón de la Barca,' The suspicious truth ', by Juan Ruiz de Alarcón, or ' The dog in the manger ', by Lope de Vega. She was the one who composed the brief note announcing the news and condolences: "We greatly regret the terrible loss of actor Óscar Sánchez Zafra, for several years closely linked to the CNTC. We will never forget you Óscar. DEP", the company briefly published. Along with the brief review appeared the photo with Zafra characterized for Lope's classic and then yes.
Of him, each spectator, be it cinema, television or theater, has his own image, which is none other than the image of any actor. He was one and, at the same time and in his own way, he was all of us. Recently, due to the pandemic, he said that he had been detained and with his partner. His was the Nomad Theater, that's what his company was called. The closing of the border in Asturias surprised him in Ribadeo. In the afternoon they performed ' María Pineda ' at the Palacio Valdés theater in Avilés. Only he could travel to him, having justified for work reasons being able to enter the Prinicpado, while his partner, with whom he was traveling, had no choice but to wait for him. And so, suddenly, the anecdote reached the character of category. An actor does not stop and his face is confused with that of the imagination of those who contemplate him in any of the circumstances, however pandemic they may be.
He then said that they parked the van in Illa Pancha and that they planned to spend the night in the vehicle and today they will stay in Ribadeo. But it could not be. "That is our daily adventure. We have functions in Ciudad Real, Viladecans and Baracaldo and see. But we are doing well, enjoying each function, which is an achievement," he told the local press, turned into a hero of culture.
Others could see him in the series 'Kosta.The Paradise' as an example perhaps contrary to that of the struggling transhumant of the theater. In this case, it was a Spanish-Finnish co-production starring Fran Perea and destined for the wide world. "Deep down," he commented in an interview, "we are making fiction, which is what counts, and we have more to do than it seems to those in the world of theater and television, those in Finland and those in Spain. And when it comes to languages, it's amazing that English, French and Finnish are spoken in the same sequence. But that enriches and makes you pay attention. "
Little was seen of him in the cinema. He could be seen a bit in the warm and endearing ' road-movie ' ' Marsella ', by Belén Macías, in the fun and also itinerant 'The world around, by Alejandro Calvo-Sotelo, and, above all, in the second installment of the 'REC', by Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza." He was a great actor," recalls Balagueró, "very professional and very passionate. And a great guy, charming, affectionate with everyone. Very generous, always concerned about the other actors, to help whoever needed him. It is clear.
But he was also in ' Central Hospital', 'La casa de papel', 'Tell me how it happened' and 'Paco's men'. Zafra also appeared in the series Querido maestro and the films El patio de mi prison or Todo por el Juego. His latest work has been in the John Madden film Operation Mincemeat, which will be released in 2022, and where Zafra gives life to Colonel Cerruti. Óscar Zafra adapted to everything, he wanted everything, everything he could and, in some way, like anyone of the actors, it belongs to everyone. D.E.P
