When people talk about my private life, I feel vulnerable, my tongue gets blocked - said Lia Pokorny, the actress of the Új Színház and the Intruder series, who was also asked about her work in our interview. He told why he criticizes himself most of the time and how his life would work if he improvised

In your interviews, you always speak modestly about yourself. Does this start from the premise that if an actor believes himself to be good, then he already starts going down the slope?

Possible. When a person no longer asks questions about whether what he is doing is good and authentic, then there is a problem. Humility is not good to lose. It is typical of me that I struggle with the fact that if I play a performance fifty times, there are two that I usually say were well done. The Intruder has been going on for a very long time, and since then there have been three scenes where I can say yes, this is what we should be moving towards.

Only three? And why were those three good?

Because then I felt that I was able to fully pay attention to the given situation and open up to my partner in the way I needed to. Other times, I always pinch myself on the neck for blocking here and flaming there. I am constantly watching and controlling myself. If it occurs to me during the scene that oh my God, I shouldn't be doing this right now, then it's a lost cause. Of course, this is not necessarily visible from the outside. Just yesterday, one of the producers praised me after the performance, and I said that you are not right, I was bad. He smiled at this: Lia, you always say that.

I'm starting to understand why you thought you weren't up to the task at the selection of the show

I thought this job wasn't for me because I'm not an outspoken funny girl. Captain Iván, the producer, said that it is not necessary to be funny, but to solve a scene. Since I've been trying to do this and I've calmed down, I know that it's not certain that the viewers will laugh at every sentence, but the main thing is whether something happens between two people or not. Speed is the feat of the genre. The improvisation we do in Júlia Bácskai's psychotheatre is a completely different kind of improvisation: there is a long time to let the scene unfold. There are also long silences, and that's okay. Here, speed is important, which is why I was very afraid at first. I'm still scared today, of course, but only until I go on stage.

What are the main rules of improvisational acting?

The most important thing is that I must accept what the other person says, I must not reject it. For example, if he looks at the table and says that this is a bucket of water, and I deny it, then I block, thus I failed the scene. In addition to acceptance, something must be added, for example: yes, this is a blue lavor. He says there are ducks swimming in the pool, and I add: I love duck stew, so let's light it!

It's almost like a personality development technique. Does it work in life?

No. It's easier for people to show their emotions and mistakes on stage. Imagine if a person came to us, where we are sitting at the table, and poured a glass of water over my head. In this nervous state I'm in right now - my throat hurts, I'm also cold, and I'm worrying about what else I have to do in the afternoon - I would catch myself, stand up and shout: what do you think of yourself? It would be funny in the theater if I stand up, throw two at him, and he falls between the seats. However, this does not work in life. If I have the opportunity to think about what can be done with my head down, I have to put my temper down, I have to calm myself down so that when I stand up, I can ask him: I'm sorry, but why did he do it?

I have to improvise within myself. Always let the voice that is calmest speak. There are many quarreling voices in man all the time, one side, the other violent, the third passive. But if we want to do something well, we have to let the little bright idea speak.

As a layman, I consider improvisation to be the most difficult acting technique. Has this show changed your feeling of being an outsider in the industry because you didn't graduate from acting school?

This feeling is not so sharp anymore. We sometimes joke among ourselves in Beugró about this, because Győző Szabó and I are the ones who didn't finish it. Sometimes I feel it's a virtue, sometimes it's a disadvantage, but never in my life has anyone asked me, when I was signed for a role, what was the situation with the college? Professionally, it doesn't matter. The fellow actors who like me and the critics have already formed some kind of image of me through the theater. I really don't need to introduce myself anymore.

In an interview, you said that the publicity given by your theater performances and TV appearances makes you vulnerable. How did you arrange this in yourself?

Basically, I have no problem with publicity. I feel it is my duty to speak about the things I believe in. The interest of the press is also important to me. I feel embarrassed and vulnerable when people talk about my private life. Then I either have to say no to one question at a time, or I try to put it in general terms. Obviously, journalists convey to me the questions that people are curious about. It affects me sensitively when I have to say no to someone. In one of my previous interviews, my old relationships were brought up. When my throat and tongue get blocked, I feel like I'm going numb. I don't want to be defiant, I'm really tensing up involuntarily. My private life is not only mine, how am I supposed to talk about the intimate things of current or former characters in my life? I'm happy to talk about topics like how my son and I go to kindergarten, but it's very difficult to talk about feelings.

It is not good to read about such things. I am always so sad to see how even crazy loves end in long suffering. One is in enough pain at such times, one does not miss having to take it out even in public. Then a new love comes and it starts all over again. It is impossible to express what happens between two people, it is their innermost, unique story. It is very difficult to explain even to friends. If you want to sum it up, it always comes out with general nonsense, never the reality.

You also mentioned in an interview that if you could, you would keep having children. Don't you miss the theater in the meantime?

I really feel that I could just be at home as a housewife. When Misi was born, I didn't miss the stage at all, I was happy to be at home with my son. I was more sad when I went back to work. I sobbed. Don't get me wrong, I love my job, I love rehearsing, I love performances, but if the question is, what would I rather do: raise children or act, then I would choose children.
