“I told him that acting career is art; I left home and got my freedom, “he told EL UNIVERSAL in an interview for his 70th birthday.
He was part of the Center for Theatrical Experimentation and starred in productions such as Big and small and From movie.
“I remember seeing her in the theater and it was actresses, actors, who brought another role in their soul, in their heart,” says Montero.
Eileen Yáñez, the 2011 Ariel winner for “Days of Grace”, met her on stage. There he saw that the actress was someone who could joke on stage and in fractions of a second she entered the character.
“He could leave a dramatic scene, crying or a strong scene, to order his Coke, to drink something because he said he can’t do so much and to return to the stage focused, he had the gift of subtlety, to say many things. with eyes “, invoice.
The playwright and the writer Claudia Rios he directed her in “Las gelatinas”, a play in which Eileen was also involved.
As a student, Ríos heard a lot about quarrels with actors and didn’t quite understand what that meant. But he saw the Passion according to Berenice, with Navarro in the lead role, and there he understood it: everything could happen to the character with a brutal power, but she barely moved, with two or three passes, she transmitted everything.
Remember that the actress may be sour, but not in bad faith. And he did not see the human being as the right policy.
“She went beyond being an actress. There are actors who have a great personality and are hired for it, they have charisma and also others for their formal qualities, a great and strong voice, but most of them stay there; there are very good ones that are organic, they extract emotions from a fictitious stimulation; Martha was at the highest level of actors, she was a poet, something happened to her, which you hardly ever see, that through her eyes you could see the universe of everything we are human beings “, Ríos emphasizes.
