For Lourdes Munguía, food goes beyond pleasure. The 65-year-old actress assures that behind each dish there are memories that build an emotional memory.
“Black mole reminds me a lot of my grandmother, my mother, the smell in the kitchen from early on making it, with a talk, a family coexistence that is beautiful,” he says.
Character as a mixture of ingredients. Munguía observes life as a combination where complex emotions also fit. Suffering, he says, is a condiment that he has learned to look at differently over the years.
“All the things and sufferings have formed our character and we are what we are because of that. I don’t know a person who has not suffered. When I suffer I turn left and right and say: ‘Forgive God for misusing your energy,'” he explains.
Today she looks at other women with empathy. Think about the stories behind the daily routine. “I see how strong women are. I see a waitress and I say: ‘How can I complain if her feet must hurt all day from standing? What am I complaining about? The heels?'” he reflects.
New look at young people
The actress also observes the new generations of performers and confesses that she has learned from them.
“I love new actors, they bring an incredible chip. They arrive with their tablet, they bring an impressive memory and a very cool concept of the graphics of their character. I learn from them and from that rhythm,” he says.
That energy and what she learned from other women are present in “Lupita”, a monologue by Francisco Oyanguren. The work follows the story of a cook, a single mother who struggles to raise her children while facing the pain of seeing how organized crime and drugs threaten to change their lives.
