Christian Ocaranza gave an account of what he experienced during his time in Red almost 20 years ago.
the featured dancer Christián Ocaranza revealed the “suggestions” that the TVN Red program asked him for being gay.
In an Instagram live called “Stories out of the closet” together with the psychologist specialized in sexual and gender diversity, Juan Cristóbal Concha, the member of the second generation of the program led by Rafael Araneda, admitted that the production imposed a series of rules regarding their private life.
“In Red they told us It doesn’t matter what they do in bed, as long as they don’t post it, there’s no problem.”he said, later adding that the program “didn’t ban us, but they told us better shut up… we better not touch the subject”.
“Yes, they put Mario Guerrero with Maura (Rivera), that they had relationships and they could show that, but, Why didn’t they put another kid who liked another little boy? No, not that”, he recalled.
“I was always a good friend of Nelson Mauri, he was always with the chihuahua dog and dressed in pink. We walked through the mall and they told us: How are you going to walk with Nelson over there?”added Christian Ocaranza regarding the interference in private life by the program.
Along with this, the dancer explained that Rojo’s production prevented him from “doing events or animating on gay records. They didn’t want to know we were in there. Being ‘known’, one was careful that they would see you at that time in Bunker”.
