GOMINUKE

I’ve noticed some confusion about yesterday’s party while queuing stuff for this blog, so I’ll explain how it worked.

Last week, Movistar+ sent DMs to fans on twitter and instagram, and asked them where they live. People who live in Madrid were invited to yesterday’s party. 

That’s right. Movistar+ and the cast and crew of Skam España reenacted the party in real time for fans and some entertainment outlets. 

The clips, posts and ig stories were prerecorded last fall, 

whereas the twitter and instagram lives were, in fact, live.

Before we went live, directors Begoña Álvarez and Tapi Ayerra told the fans in attendance that we could go up to the actors and talk to them, but we had to call them by their characters’ names and they would in turn reply as their characters. We could take pictures and video and talk about the event on our twitter/instagram accounts. 

I didn’t do any of that because I prefer to keep a barrier between myself and the show, but other than that, being at the live event was like being part of Skam España itself. As people on the tag have noticed, the team timed everything so that it would happen on the live event exactly as it did on the show. Jorge, Hugo and Nora said their lines in real time as they did in the clips. Eva picked up her phone right before she went live on instagram. Hugo came onstage to rap right when the clip dropped, etc.

The biggest differences between the clips and the live event were these: 

Nora sang three songs. bad guy by billie eilish, Can’t Help Falling in Love and God is a Woman by Ariana Grande.  

Hugo rapped for longer, and he did verses about Eva (he also made a pun with Eva’s actress Alba’s name), Amira, Nora and Viri.

Jorge DJed the rest of the time.

I haven’t seen any pic from the event, but I could see the characters posing with and talking to fans in character.

Amira and Viri went around and “saved” people’s phone numbers to add them to the Mallorca whatsapp chat.

Nora would pose for fans and Miquel would creep up behind her and photobomb the selfies.

Cris and Rubén also took a bunch of pictures with fans, Cris was one of, if not the most, popular character at the party.

The live event lasted about an hour, and at the end the cast thanked the fandom, now out of character. Hajar, Celia and Gonzalo were really grateful for the support and for making this event successful. Alejandro and Nicole asked fans to keep coming up with theories. They read everything and enjoy it. Nicole asked Álex Villazán to say a few words, and he said the team and fandom has treated him really well. Finally, Alba asked Begoña and Tapi to say a few words. Begoña begged off because she was on crutches because of a fall, I think. So instead, Tapi came up and thanked everyone for coming, including the press, and told us we were going to fail out of school for going to the event.

Despite the tickets being listed at costing 5€, the 2 for 1 offer on drinks, and so on, the event was completely free. Both entrance, coat check and drinks. To top it all off, we were also given a pussytive shirt at the exit.
