The premiere of “Dona Beja”, the first soap opera on streaming Max, is approaching, and Grazi Massafera, who will play the protagonist Ana Jacinta, provided important details about the new version of the work on TV Manchete. The character is a famous 19th century courtesan and was played by Maitê Proença in the first version.
The actress assured Veja magazine that “there are many scenes with nudity and sex” in the plot, which were successful in the first version and should return with strength in this one: “There are many scenes with nudity and sex, but nothing is gratuitous, we are telling a story. I confess that even I will be shocked by the result”.
Grazi also says she is not afraid of comparisons with the original Ana Jacinta: “I’m playing this role at a time when I, as an actress and a woman, feel prepared for the challenge.” She is iconic, and the imagination of Maitê as Beja will exist forever”, she said about Proença.
The actress also said that the plot should address important issues today, such as female and racial issues, even within the conservative context of history.
Contrary to this conservatism, the recordings feature something new: an intimacy coordinator. The professional is hired to ensure that sex scenes are recorded respectfully.
“It was a little strange at first. There was so much protection that we even had some difficulty recording in the first few days,” she said about the coordinator’s presence. “Having a professional like this gave us one less thing to worry about and added security. It’s a level of care that didn’t exist before,” she added.
