Irina Baeva knows that starring in the play “Adventuress” It is a great responsibility, and although she is now fully committed to that project (which is presented in the Los Angeles Hall From Mexico City), When he was offered the role, he hesitated to accept. It was her boyfriend Gabriel Soto who convinced hertelling him that it was a unique opportunity.

Interviewed for the radio program “All for women”the Russian actress commented on how it all happened: “I think one of the first things I said to myself the moment I received the first call was: “The adventuress! I mean, I’m not sure”. And (Gabriel) told me: “How? That is, you are not dimensioning what it is to be adventuress“. And since day 1 he always tried to make me understand, precisely as a Mexican, what (the work) means in Mexican culture.”

To play the character of “Elena Tejero” Irina has prepared intensely: “They were very heavy rehearsals; I was returning from Russia. We spent basically five or six hours rehearsing every day, preparing these choreographies. As for singing, I have been preparing the songs since February. Still at the same time as recording (the soap opera) “The Story of Juana” “I was going with my singing teacher, to have a nice result for the public.”

Baeva clarified that this version of the play is different from those that have been presented in Mexico for more than two decades. “I think that She is a different “Adventurer”. We stick very closely to the original script, which is the one for the film (from 1950). It is basically the film captured on stage, and not only are we not far from the audience. “It is an immersive theatrical exercise, I would say, because everything happens in 360 degrees.”

Irina has been in a relationship with Gabriel for six years, and they have been engaged for a long time; However, there is no wedding yet. In this regard, she said: “Well, we hope there is, right? Look, right now, as I always say, God’s timing is perfect. There are times when there are many job opportunities. Right now we are both focused on work. This is taking up one hundred percent of my energy, basically. We hope that it can be done soon, but there is no rush. You have to live life, enjoy moment by moment, and the present. In the end, the wedding doesn’t change anything, that is, it’s more like the pressure of society.”

Another important point that influences the actress to be carefully planning her wedding is because He wants his family to be present, but the trip to Mexico is very difficult. “At the time the wedding had to be postponed more than anything because of my family, because for me it is also something very nice that your dad takes you, it is like a dream moment. It is still quite complicated, since it is a 38-hour plane trip, with stopovers.”
