Her millions of fans around the world know her by her stage name, but in ‘Alaska Revealed’, the international singer will dare to bare her soul and discover her more unknown side.
As part of the celebration of the 16th edition of the FesTVal of Vitoria-Gasteiz, the artist has presented this original documentary series Movistar Plus+ consisting of 3 episodes that will arrive on the platform in December 2024.
The FesTVal was attended by Alaska herself, director Pite Piñas (‘Bosé Renacido’), Movistar Plus+ executive producer Jorge Ortiz de Landázuri and Macarena Rey, executive producer of Shine Iberia.
In this presentation, Alaska confessed: “I have said no many times to making a documentary about my life. I said yes to doing this project when I got the proposal when I saw that it is not a normal documentary. The way it was told and his point of view won me over. Also, the team and Movistar Plus+ gave me the confidence to say yes”.
For Pite Piñas, director of the documentary series: “I had doubts about how to approach the documentary. The starting point, when we had the first conversations with Alaska, was clear and the documentary series is built around a triptych: health, money and love“.
Macarena Rey, executive producer of Shine Iberia, spoke of the artist’s importance and influence: “We would like Alaska’s legacy to be reflected in a document that does her justice for all eternity. It was clear to us that we had to tell this story and that the home was Movistar Plus+. Olvido is a person without prejudices in terms of television and the world of entertainment and that is to be welcomed“.
Jorge Ortiz de Landázuri, executive producer of Movistar Plus+, explained the importance of the artist’s involvement in the project: “We want to tell stories of popular characters. These need to endure over time to become icons and Alaska is one of them. The personal archive is very important when dealing with these documentaries, but Alaska’s personal conviction was essential to make this documentary series. We counted on her and her point of view to know that we could do it. ‘Alaska Revelada‘ must be something unique“.
In addition, Alaska has visited the Movistar Plus+ set located in the Plaza de la Virgen Blanca in Vitoria-Gasteiz from where the special programme ‘Diario del FesTVal’ is broadcast to bring this original to the artist’s fans.
About ‘Alaska Revelada’
Cross-cutting icon, singer, actress and presenter, Olvido Gara has left an indelible mark on the history of universal pop culture. ‘Alaska Revelada’, the new original documentary series Movistar Plus+ in collaboration with Shine Iberia, reviews the life and career of the international artist, profiling the more unknown side of the star. From her childhood in Mexico to the present day, where she has become a musical and cultural reference for millions of people, the production accompanies Alaska during 3 episodes on an exciting journey that traces, for the first time and exclusively, her impressive life trajectory.
Fascinated from a very young age with the glam aesthetic, the documentary series relives, among other things, the most transgressive moments of the Movida Madrileña, a period of freedom and debauchery in which she became a muse and experimented with drugs and sex. The documentary series, which traces the unique evolution of the artist and the person beyond the character, approaches Olvido’s very personal relationship with cosmetic surgery and recovers some of the passages in which the artist has managed to rise from the ashes like a phoenix, capable of adapting to all circumstances.
Shot over 4 months in more than 30 locations between Madrid and Mexico, ‘Alaska Revelada’ features the exclusive testimony of the singer, her most intimate circle – including her mother América, her husband Mario Vaquerizo, Nacho Canut and Bibiana Fernández – and outlines the most intimate and unknown portrait of the artist. Colleagues and celebrities from the world of culture, show business and journalism such as Pedro Almodóvar, Miguel Bosé, Raphael, Aitana, Ana Torroja, Topacio Fresh, Fabio McNamara, Federico Jiménez Losantos and Carlos Jean, among others, will also offer their particular vision of the iconic artist.
With this new project, Movistar Plus+ continues its commitment to the non-fiction editorial line, with original products that show our stories from another point of view such as ‘Bosé Renacido’, ‘Bisbal’, ‘Lola’, ‘Raphaelismo’… ‘Alaska Revelada’ is a docuseries that features archive images and testimonies from the artist, who opens up as never before.
