When she was still pregnant with Liz, now 5, Juliana Didone, 38, received the book “60 Days of Fog” as a gift from her sister Luciana (mother of Cora, the baby who also poses with the actress in this photo). . The work, written by Rafaela Carvalho, addresses with humor and lightness the joys and discoveries of a woman in the first months of motherhood. At first, Juliana was optimistic and believed that her experience would be full of sunny days, but she soon realized that the reality was murkier than she imagined:
— I thought: “Ah, there won’t be any fog, I’ll be fine.” But already in the first few months I noticed that the hole was deeper. As the guilt, insecurity, and vulnerability began to mount, I timidly began to open the book. This meeting was important because I realized that there is no way not to feel all of these things after becoming mothers. It’s normal not to be normal.

Reading the book had such a profound impact that Juliana thought about turning this story into a play. This is how the show “60 Days of Fog” was born, directed by Beth Goulart and written by Renata Mizrahi, inspired by the work of Rafaela Carvalho.
— It’s not about “Nutella” or “root” nut. Many will identify. You can be married, separated or single… We’re talking about demands, extreme love versus regret, the lack of sex. It is an eternal duality between the love of motherhood but also missing who you were before because it changes everything explains the actress.
Regarding her problems with Liz’s arrival, Juliana shares:
— I had an idealization of motherhood and the surprise was this radical break in the face of stark reality. I had a great pregnancy, but when Liz was born it was a shock, an avalanche. At first I wanted to have a natural birth, I had contractions for hours and then I was faced with a cesarean section she recalls and continues: “There was lack of sleep and difficulty breastfeeding.” I didn’t have much milk and she cried a lot. I insisted on getting it. Eventually I stopped socializing because I wanted to sleep all the time I had. It took me a long time to become interested in sex, a beer or going out.

Juliana emphasizes the importance of acknowledging the difficulties women face in motherhood and the emotional burden they often carry in silence.
— For some time now we have had the opportunity to shed light on royal motherhood. Our parents’ generation was very romantic. It was somehow forbidden to say that the woman was having difficulties, it was almost a synonym for weakness for the woman to say that she couldn’t cope. That doesn’t devalue us he says.
The actress says that her body also changed after pregnancy, but she wasn’t too worried about the aesthetics. His priority has always been physical and mental health.
— If you look at my nails and my hair, you would think that I haven’t found time to take care of myself until today (laughs). But I try to eat well, exercise and go running. In the end, I gave health more priority than taking care of my hair or having an aesthetic procedure he says.

From home to the stage
In the piece, Juliana uses an animal chair made during her pregnancy by her and Liz’s exhusband and father, artist Flávio Rossi.
— We enjoyed the wait. We did it by catching these little machine animals. When you are pregnant, your childlike side comes out particularly strongly! — highlights the actress.
Word from the director
Beth Goulart says her goal was to create a more open scenario for Juliana’s body to guide the overall story.
— It is a show that talks about the importance of motherhood in our lives and deals with the subtle feelings in this relationship, which is the most important one in our lives. It is the love of a mother for a child, a child for a mother, a couple that changes.

Children’s film
In addition to the play, Juliana was in the cast of the film “The Adventurers The Origin” by Luccas Neto this year.
— Liz saw the film and loved it. I made a funny villain. It’s very easy. When you become a mother, the responsibility becomes so great that you start to take yourself less seriously. Today I want to do more fun things. It doesn’t just have to be something intoxicating.
