“Lobos by Lamb” is the new project of Adriana Louvier, where not only participates as an actress, but also stands out as a producer of this staging, which, seeks that the spectators face a reflection on the cases of impunity in Mexico, as well as the reasons why someone could participate in an act of corruption despite the search for justice.
Louvier, in an interview with Forbes Mexicohe told how his experience to carry out this work was, his own ideas about what represents the problem that is narrated and what it represents for the theater in the country.
“The first thing I thought when reading the script of the workers was’ This is what I have been looking for to return to the theater,” said the actress about the appeal that led her to connect with the project and be part of it. “I was looking for a deep story, with few characters, where an interesting topic was addressed and that we could have an important plaintiff.”
On the acting side, Louvier stressed that he could connect with his character for being “a strong woman”, although he also highlighted the vulnerability he comes to address after a tragic fact that involves his son within the plot of the staging. “He doesn’t show his vulnerability to others (…) I think he is a character that surely when he closes the door of his house is when he really feels all this loneliness and all this pain.”
As a producer, Louvier stressed that this project came just at the time I was looking for “doing something deep” inside the theater in Mexico, declaring that when reading the libretto for the first time she thought it was “the closest” to what I wanted to do on paper from the other side of the stage.

The reflection to which ‘Lobos by lambs’ leads
Allow silence about a tragic accident in a school in exchange for one million dollars. That is the question to which “Lobos for lambs” bets on this dramatic plot, however, it also seeks to give rise to the conversation about the impunity that exists in the country, although without judging those who would accept the offer before the fault or the late impartment of justice.
Louvier said that among his cast and production colleagues, they wondered precisely if they would accept the money in exchange for silence, but states that before the unknown there are also a number of responses based on real life.
“I have seen interviews with people who have lived similar situations (…) and there are so many answers. That is, there are people who say ‘under no circumstances would I accept this money because it would be to be selling me’, but there are other people who think about ‘I will accept this money to help’, for example, to a foundation.”
He also said that “it is very strong” that this type of exchanges are carried out for silence before a fact that should end with someone receiving justice, although it also said that decisions with very personal.
“There are families who need money and say ‘Well, if nobody is going to take responsibility, because they better give me the money.”
Together with this topic, he added that when seeing the work, the public will have different perspectives on this delicate problem: “It is also that the work is very interesting, and it is strong, and it is confrontative. What I like is also that it never gives you a certain answer (…), leaves open the possibility that there are different situations for people as they live it and according to the perspective they have.”
Lack of support for theater in Mexico
Adriana Louvier highlighted the difficulties facing the theater in Mexico, recognizing that in the last six or seven years, several institutions have been closed that aimed to boost this art in our country, so she considers “it is increasingly difficult for more work to be the opportunity for more plays.”
On this, only as an example, a series of independent institutions closed due to economic problems-being another factor by Covid-19-some of these have been the Julio Jiménez Rueda Theater, which ceased to be administered by the inbal; And the forum not shortly, which closed due to lack of maintenance, and therefore, not to meet the appropriate conditions for its operation.
The actress considered that given this situation, you have to believe in the theater, because “it is important that they are encouraged to contribute”, also emphasized “people do go to the theater, you see not as much as they wanted, but of course people who go (…) and we are fortunate that today there are works of comedy, drama, musical pieces.”
He concluded by saying: “We have that opportunity as a public of (having) entertainment, and precisely in this new production (…) we hope you have all the focus it deserves.”
“Lobos by lambs” shows up every Tuesday at the Lucena forum at 8:30 p.m.
