Intense, strange and uncertain. These are three of the adjectives by which the multidisciplinary artist describes himself.Alice Wonder will perform at Teatro Colón on November 24 (21.00) in loop They are artists to present his latest work Fuck everything else. A farewell tour to start working on his new project. “There’s something coming that’s more intense and mature than the last one,” he continues.
Does your stage name come from Alice in Wonderland?
Actually. I always loved him and felt he was a part of my life. I’ve drawn a lot since I was little, and Alice in Wonderland has a very specific aesthetic. For me, there was always a parallel universe to go to.
Did I need this when I was little?
Sometimes yes. Sometimes the world does not live up to one’s imagination. When you want to escape from a certain sadness, it is good to go to other places and create them in your mind. Even draw them.
Are you still drawing?
Yes, I draw a lot. Actually, I designed the products or posters I have. I love photography, I love cinema, I really love cooking, I love fashion… if you give me something to sculpt, I’ll make you a statue.
Perform the next 24 to Coruñaas part of a tour where he was closing a stage.
Yes, I am closing the best tour of my career. It’s been three years since I toured with an album that I thought wouldn’t do much, and it did a lot. I close a scene with a lot of love, a little sadness and nostalgia so that it can really end. But I feel I must face my next task.
He already offers some new songs on his own album. concerts.
Yes, I’m playing two new songs live because I want to see how people enjoy them. They have nothing to do with each other, which I love. I really want to develop the project because it has a very special aesthetic as well as the sound. I want to push myself to my limits to see where we get to.
It speaks of a unique aesthetic. You too?
Yes it looks like that (laughs). There was a time when I tried not to look like that for fear of not fitting in, but now I’m freeing myself. Part of the creative freedom I have is rediscovering my roots to the point of realizing that it was the strangeness of my image and my thoughts that brought me here. This gives me another perspective that I can then share with others, and many will recognize this feature.
We all have our quirks.
Actually. The diversity of audiences who come to concerts means something. But now, more than ever, I’m starting to trust the qualities that each of us have that make us strong. If we start sharing this, I think it could be a very powerful awakening of a dream we’ve had for many years.
You’re busy, aren’t you?
Yes, I am busy, but I am quite calm and simple in my daily life. But I can’t help being intense, it’s a feeling.
He once said that sometimes he was embarrassed to talk about how weird he felt. Aren’t you ashamed anymore?
I feel less and less ashamed because I understand more and more how I feel. Now I’m trying to put my baby Ali and my daughter Ali in front of me and do the job of loving her in a way that I didn’t allow myself to do before. Then you will understand many more things.
Did you need help during this process?
I have been in therapy for a year and a half, but I have always had a circle of family and friends with whom I have a very nice dialogue of understanding and acceptance. Now with all of this added up, I’m doing the work alone, starting the process of this new project, and in this way I’m discovering tools I didn’t know about, discovering ways to wear your little self and treat you more lovingly and lovingly. A sweeter perspective. Sweetness was something I hadn’t allowed myself to do before. It sounds like something more intense and mature than before.
Are you tired of being asked Benidorm Festival?
No, but for me it’s another experience that negates all the requirements of another show. It’s a very special show because we were able to develop ideas for TV on a much larger scale. Being a television competition, the journey and process don’t really represent me, but it was part of the game.
The festival evokes love and hate in networks. Do you pay much attention to it?
The truth is no, I’m too lazy. I couldn’t learn the good or the bad, but I think there were very positive reactions at that time. You don’t need to pay any attention to bad feedback.
Their concert in A Coruña is part of the cycle. They are artists. Will a cycle titled They Are Artists come out from a public institution?
I think so, if only to try to be modern. But hey, I totally think so. Right now they are artists, there is a bias to have. But it will have to happen at some point.
Has your uncertainty harmed you?
Yes, many times, especially when I was little. It is something that cannot be fully understood if it is not experienced. It’s a very special situation to have uncertainty about something that represents you so much. What I’ve learned is to free myself from boundaries, they’re in your head.
So doesn’t society set limits?
Yes, he first puts these things into his head and then turns them into reality. I think it will be understood and we will be there to help people understand. New kids come in learning this. But the memories of hatred remain. Hate is much simpler than love.
Are you afraid of censorship?
Art in general is the direct antithesis of oppression. I am not afraid of censorship. There are people who think that something can disappear by covering it up, but that is not the case. I will do what I have to do and if they condemn me it will be part of the journey of learning, living and then fighting it.
