Actress and singer Ángela Torres revealed that she went through a 'traumatic moment' due to the beauty standards imposed by society and public criticism of her body. However, she turned this difficult experience into songs, defining music as a bridge.
According to the Argentine News Agency, based on an archived television clip that has resurfaced, Guido Süller and Charlotte Caniggia were seen laughing at Torres' height and physique. Years later, the granddaughter of Lolita Torres brought this episode to light as a dark period in her life.
In recent hours, the interpreter emphasized: 'I want to humanize and understand that we all suffer from the same problems, especially girls who face situations that are often uncomfortable and mark us for life.'
'It's not just the concrete fact, but the philosophy around the hegemony over women and others, where there are beauty parameters that are impossible to meet and unbearable. Music is a bridge, and it's nice to be able to use it to connect, grow, or heal.'
'It's something I started putting into words recently because I had been living in silence, unfortunately,' insisted the singer.
Finally, Torres associated that emotion with her career as a singer: 'I like to write, partly from sadness to transform reality, and that's how I connect with people. Sometimes I feel like saying, 'Leave me alone, old man,' added the actress.
Torres also stated: 'They talk about one thing - the body - while I do another - my current work - and then they suddenly start talking about the shape of your legs.'
