By the blood of Maria del Carmen Felix Talent runs wild and with that genealogy, it was difficult for acting not to be a powerful calling as a reason for life.

It is in the XXVI edition of the GIFF We had the opportunity to talk with the interpreter since “Before the Vultures Arrive"The feature film he starred in was an official selection at the famous festival.

The film, shot in a single location and in black and white, is a kind of homage to magical realism that refers us to the spectral work of Juan Rulfo, “Pedro Páramo” “Llano en Llamas”.

Set in a single location, the character of Féliz is a brave fisherwoman whose greatest desire is to venture out on her boat “Remedios” to fish for symbolic treasures. Accompanied by a man who dies due to the provocation of our protagonist La Tuza, a series of unexpected events unfold to give us as a result the unusual union with the widow of the deceased, her complementary opposite.

For the actress, Los Zopilotes is a quote whose dialogue was a delight, alluding to the ancient way of speaking of the inhabitants of the Sierra de México and in indigenous communities without resorting to the native language and professing a clear lack of fear of silence. La Tuza herself never stops giving soliloquies for her own reflection or for the delight of La Remedios, since the boat, of course, is a character in itself.

Not only is it navigating through fake water on stage (Dogville style by simulating locations and sets that are not really there) but also through the psychology of the character and all these questions that are asked about whether the steam from the lake is slowly taking over their hearts.

María del Carmen was not intimidated by the complex challenges of production, but was instead enveloped by the richness of the script and the cathartic moments of the characters, whose Rain Odyssey is a self-discovery in the deep waters of the human condition.
