At 26 years old, born in São Paulo, Theresa Fonseca Mariana lives in Reborncharacter from Adriana Esteves in the same soap opera in 1993. In that first version, Adriana commented that she had depression due to the criticism she received on the streets, for not accepting the romance she would build involving father and son (José Inocêncio and João). In a chat with the column, the actress talks about her expectations and desires when playing her first protagonist.
Would you know how to measure the degree of responsibility for this role, already carried out by Adriana Esteves? It’s such a responsibility, especially given the greatness of an actress that I admire so much. And we don’t do soap operas alone, I rest assured that I have people helping me. Both on stage and directors who know exactly what they want from this character.
How do you feel about past criticism of Adriana? Did you talk about it? Yes, she was kind to me, we talked about my routine, whether I ate well, whether I was a psychologist. She is a very physically demanding character. She is complex, people can have the wrong view of her. I repeat several times: if Mariana is deceiving people, she is deceiving me too.
Like this? I really believe in the love she has for both her father and her son, because we don’t choose love. We don’t choose who we fall in love with, we choose our actions.
Is it possible to love two people at the same time, as she does in the soap opera? I don’t think it’s ever happened to me, but I think it’s possible.

Have you ever loved two people at the same time? I love many people at the same time, but this romantic love never happened to me. I really like to love.
Who is Teresa that people get to know with the soap opera on air? I’m afraid of this question, because I’m a lot of things. I always try to do my best, I try to vibrate positive energy, to be ‘me’ in essence, to speak the truth, to live.
How did the invitation come about? It was via Marcela Bergamo, casting producer, together with my agent. She got in touch and I was in Sun WarriorsI was going to record until the end of December and I didn’t even know it was possible to do Reborn being in Warriors. Marcela got in touch saying that she wanted to test me for Mariana, and she worked really well. She cried every day, because she really wanted to play this character.
And what did you need to give up? Malhar, the rhythm of the recordings is very intense (laughter). I’ll tell you that I didn’t give up anything, because I have support from the people around me. Sometimes I can’t give them my 100%, because I have to get home and study, I’m very studious.
