We chat with DangerousLiaisons star Colette Dalal Tchantcho (ctchantcho) about her character Ondine'd complicated relationships with Valmont and Camille. DangerousSTARZ premieres November 6:
STARZ is bringing 18th-century France to life in Dangerous Liaisons, Harriet Warner's prequel to the infamous Pierre Choderlos de Laclos epistolary novel. While previous period dramas on the same network have served as origin stories for famous women in history, such as Becoming Elizabeth and The Serpent Queen, Dangerous Liaisons is the making of one of the most infamous figures in fiction.
Colette Dalal Tchantcho: I played Merteuil in drama school, and ever since then, I was obsessed. [Laughs] So, I knew much more of it before I knew of the show. But I've always been very much into period [drams] as well. She also starts to develop a very interesting dynamic with Camille, where it feels like you each have something the other wants, and there are some reversals over the course of the season. Can you talk about building that dynamic with Alice?
I'm also very intrigued by Ondine's son, though I haven't really met him yet. There's so much that has been said, though, and I would love to know your thoughts on that relationship. Will we be seeing him? Colette Dalal Tchantcho: Oh, gosh. I think any actor that's ever done a period piece will tell you the costume is very difficult to get comfortable with. However, especially in Prague weather... It was during the summertime, and that was hot, hot, hot. However, it creates so much opportunity for interesting movement and how you maneuver those restrictions. Where there were obstacles, there were interesting solutions, I'll say.
I felt like, in a way, these conversations were always happening. But also, there were contributions from everywhere. I think the creative team was so amazing in leaving little bits and clues in small places. It gave me a lot as the actor, and I hope when audiences go back and look again, they'll see more.
