Tell me about A Revolutionary Family. The idea came when I visited Prague and met Michel. I was very eager to work and I wanted to make public interventions. It seemed very good to me to make this symbolic marriage with Michel, in which I could feel myself also in these people ´ s shoes. I did it to some extent to show solidarity with the problems about gender identity and to recognize how beautiful is that a person recognizes himself with another identity and does it publicly. I also think about the concept of revolutionary. What is truly revolutionary? What are the new proposals we make as citizens, as artists? How could that be seen from the other ' s gaze? And I felt like a weird one, which is how people in the LGTBI community feel sometimes. I was observed in a strange way and it was a super interesting and very reflective exercise. Do you think that people may see your proposals as normal in the future? I believe in a present, because the future is built from the present. I think that, since we went out into the street, people began to see homosexual marriage as normal and as a normal possibility. And we are the artists, the activists, the people who are reflecting on the reality that surrounds us, who can advance that reality towards new realities. I think it is normal in other latitudes. The foreigners looked at us as if it were something normal, they were not alarmed. It was a beautiful act to express your love for others and to do it in public. The Cubans felt a little fear of the unknown, but if it ´ s done with respect to others and in a beautiful way, people will understand. We even went out with my child to integrate it also within that future option. In the end, we thought this exercise was not only a way to our own happiness, but to the happiness that we could build for our children and their friends.
How did you feel that day in the street? It was a special day and I think that together we did a little bit of history, we changed something in reality and pushed some barrier that day. I would like to continue to do so and even let the very people of the LGTBI community to express their love in public with pleasure. It seems to me that society improves whenever people are less frustrated and can express what they feel. In a way, sincerity also drives society ' s progress towards the good, the beautiful and the fair.
Once you have completed your audiovisual materials, what happen with them, what impact do they have on the media? I want to return them to the activists, that ´ s the first thing, so the audiovisual materials are more of them than mine. I use them in favor of the LGTBI community and they reproduce and share them in their social networks and other circles of friends. I want to modify the Family Code and put pressure on the National Assembly for that. I want to activate legislative initiatives by the people of the LGTBI community themselves, as Mariela Castro or Miguel Barnet can do it, because they are deputies to the assembly and have not done much for this community. It seems to me that we can all press for what people are demanding. They shouldn ´ t feel that their citizenship quality is diminished with respect to others.
Besides being a woman, you are also a mother and a wife. How do you manage to do such a complicated and time consuming job? I get it by integrating the whole family into my work. That ' s the solution I ´ ve
