HUMO: You're a feminist, you have already said that several times. Many young women do not like being associated with feminism, because in their eyes it is a movement that forbids them to wear heels.

Evelyne Brochu: Feminists are the reason that I can vote, and my main concern is not whether I should wear heels or not, but that I might soon lose that acquired right as a woman. That Donald Trump is completely disturbed. The first thing he did as president, was to abolish subsidies for abortion clinics. And isn’t it scary what humiliating statements the most powerful man in the world can make about women? Everybody says: "They are just words." But words set the motion more often than you think. A man thinks much faster now, "If the most powerful man can say that, it is okay if I say it too." While women previously where not given the same room as men to be angry, or different, or crazy, a man is admired for those things, "Look how strong he is and what strong opinions he has." A woman would be called hysterical.

Women are constantly belittled. We are told how we should behave if we want to be loved. That's my biggest concern. I could care less about those heels.

This is a translation of Ebro’s interview with a Belgium magazine. For the full translated interview keep reading.

Humo: Nathalie Teirlinck did not think you'd react when she sent you her script. But you mailed her three days later that you wanted to meet her. You found a lot of yourself reflected in the script, she said.

Evelyne Brochu:  Yes. The fact that you usually just cause more pain when you are trying to get out of the way, for example. Or losing someone when you’re frantically trying not to lose them: I’ve already experienced that myself. Like many people, in some way. Alice has lost her mother, she is now losing her father (played by Johan Leysen, ed.) to Alzheimer's and she has never really won his love, because somewhere in the film he says: "I will never love anyone as much as my wife.” Which means: not even his daughter.

Humo: Alice doesn’t trust love at all. Love means losing to her. She protects herself against the potential pain by not attaching herself to anything or anyone. She survives by turning off her emotions and hides in a cocoon of superficial relationships. As long as she can put on a mask and nobody is trying to crack her shell, she thinks she can keep her obsessive control over everything. But actually, she has long lost herself.

Humo: Can you imagine why someone would choose this kind of living?

Brochu: Yes. My father left our family when I was 1.5 years old. My mother, a violin teacher, has always been there for me. She is a wonderful woman, very strong, but also a little crazy. If only I could be half the way she is. Yet I still felt something was missing. One of the main reasons why I felt so attracted to acting, was the idea that you did it with a group of people committed to the same goal, kind of like a family. I had been looking for my salvation in those theater groups instead of in a relationship: with them, I had a bond, but it was not so close, and often temporary. That is not so very different from Alice.

Brochu: There's also something else I identify with: her fear of failure, which is so great that she just does not start what she really wants. That is very much alive in people of my generation. Theoretically everything is possible and everything is available, so if we fail, it is our own fault. At the same time, it is proclaimed everywhere that we need to be in touch with ourselves and dare to be vulnerable. Try to start that. Everyone feels the pressure to be great and successful, while staying natural and spontaneous. I can hear everyone around me wondering how the hell to achieve that seemingly effortless perfection (laughs).

Humo: Are you still afraid to fail, despite your success?

Brochu: For me it's still a fight, you know, to let go of that idea and to think: I am who I am, I do what I can and just want to have fun. I used to think that if I achieve this and that, I will be invincible and invulnerable. But when you come to that point, you will notice that the opposite happens: you're totally dependent on the mask of success that you have made, and that can fall off anytime. If you let the pursuit of perfection go and open yourself up, you will achieve just what everyone desires: be interesting and accepted.

Brochu: I just read an article in The Atlantic about how to learn to say " This is good enough" to yourself. That saves you from all the problems you call upon yourself by only wanting the best of the best.

Brochu: Nathalie also just wants to make something that is fantastic and because of that she sometimes doesn’t leave enough space to let things occur, while that is so important. But it was great to work with her, I have rarely been on a set where everyone is as committed as in Belgium. That's what I love. I keep thinking "I want to say something meaningful in this interview. It should be good, because there is already enough blah blah. "(Laughs)"

HUMO: Meanwhile, you are now world famous for your role in 'Orphan Black' on cloned sisters trying to survive. In it you play Delphine Cormier, a scientist who works on the cloning experiment, but who switches to the camp of the sisters because she falls in love with one of them. Unlike Alice, Delphine goes for love.

Brochu: "By the way, I think I identify more with Delphine than with Alice: I would take the risk to go for love. Things really start to matter when something is at stake, if you think someone is worth the risk. "

Humo: Why did you choose to play in 'Orphan Black'?

Brochu: I particularly like the values ​​that the series stands for: that women have the rights over of their own bodies. That the female protagonists are strong women who talk about things other than men. The series has inspired many young women to be themselves. You have no idea how many emails have flooded in: "You have helped me come out of the closet. Finally, I dared to tell my parents that I love women.” In America, there are still many places where it is anything but obvious.

HUMO: You're a feminist, you have already said that several times. Many young women do not like being associated with feminism, because in their eyes it is a movement that forbids them to wear heels.

Brochu: Feminists are the reason that I can vote, and my main concern is not whether I should wear heels or not, but that I might soon lose that acquired right as a woman. That Donald Trump is completely disturbed. The first thing he did as president, was to abolish subsidies for abortion clinics. And isn’t it scary what humiliating statements the most powerful man in the world can make about women? Everybody says it: "They are just words." But words set the motion more often than you think. A man thinks much faster now, "If the most powerful man can say that, it is okay if I say it too." While women previously where not given the same room as men to be angry, or different, or crazy, a man is admired for those things, "Look how strong he is and what strong opinions he has." A woman would be called hysterical.

Yesterday night I almost had a breakup. Talking about Évelyne, her pictures with Nathalie Teirlinck in the premiere of Le Passé Devant Nous in Brussels with @adherantnerdhi we also talking about Évelyne and her possibility of not being there in the last two episodes of Orphan Black. I was thinking about that, and in why it always seemed that she was apart from the rest of the cast in the show. @phearts helped me to understand a little more that that issue and after that I found myself thinking about motives. I had a theory, or at least I believed that I had one. A crazy theory that has not feet or head. The theory of Cosima alive ... without Delphine ... but with Shay. I spent a lot of time thinking about that, because we all know that the relationship between Shay and Cosima stayed frozen. Delphine gave her blessing to Shay to be with Cosima when she believed she would die. Delphine gave to Shay the tag of Cosima as a clone and said that she needed to ask Cosima about everything but if the same Cosima wanted to talk about it. Cosima did not want to. Shay was in the army and she never told Cosima anything about that. I believed that Shay would return to Orphan in season 4 but she did not. And Cosima said to Scott that she had a missing soulmate and a broken relationship in reference to Shay, but Scott said that Shay was a rebound, nothing important. The canon in the show is Cosima with Delphine, the soulmates. And with that my theory of Cosima with Shay  it goes directly to the dumpsters.

@madnanc @seanpgilroy you guys started the thread, and I went insane but that’s ok, I’m better now.

Nathalie Teirlinck and Evelyne Brochu

[marielouane]

Yesterday I visited the pre-screening of Le Passé Devant Nous in Brussels. The film was absolutely mesmerizing and intens! Afterwards there was a Q&A with the Director of the film Nathalie Teirlinck and Évelyne Brochu. The highlight was meeting Évelyne and talking to her in French. She was so lovely and she complimented my French! After a big hug and a kiss on the cheek I went home today a happy woman. :)
