00:00
You came to Earth and I didn't want to go see you
00:05
Because I don't. Like you.
00:20
Joining us is Teresa Rees,
00:22
who brings Lu to life in Punto Rojo,
00:24
Puntaur written by Julio Rojas and Sofia Aza,
00:28
a story woven by teenage romance,
00:31
tough choices, and the 5 for a Better Future.
00:33
Please welcome Teresa. OK,
00:42
Teresa, please summarize this audio drama in 15 seconds.
00:46
Start the time. Romeo and Juliet's story set in Mars.
00:50
That was fantastic. Yeah,
00:52
that was good. I mean,
00:52
it is good. It's a love story in outer space.
00:55
Two teens separated by unimaginable space and forces.
01:00
It feels so intense.
01:02
Do you think one day living on Mars could be real?
01:04
I hope it's not real,
01:05
and I hope we can continue to nurture what we have,
01:08
but if it does come to that,
01:10
then we're going to have to build something else with love.
01:13
What was your first reaction when you read the script?
01:15
I didn't expect that it would be so deep.
01:18
So romantic and so beautiful.
01:21
It's an apocalyptic story,
01:23
and it speaks about the people that we leave behind,
01:26
the hopes and expectations and dreams that we take with us when
01:30
How do you think this audio drama explores themes of immigration and
01:34
assimilation in terms of moving to Mars and adjusting as Martians?
01:39
We as artists, you speak of topics over and over again
01:43
because that's where you come from.
01:46
Yeah, I personally believe that it's important to continue to talk
01:49
about the same topics but in different ways,
01:51
and we're still speaking about immigration.
01:53
My character is pregnant and she has to go to Mars and
01:56
give birth to a first generation baby,
01:59
but in Mars. That is something that I thought was very
02:01
very special. You bring life to Lou,
02:05
a resilient and determined woman navigating love and survival across worlds.
02:13
that you learned about her thoughts and feelings that surprised you while
02:16
voicing her. The backbone that you need in order to make
02:20
the difficult choices, which I think she is the character that
02:24
makes the difficult choices for everyone in that stays.
02:27
For the family. It's a female project and the way they
02:30
wrote this part is she's very independent and she's truly,
02:33
truly strong in a way that she is able to put herself
02:36
first and take care of her people without giving herself up.
02:40
So I like. very much.
02:42
If you had to send sounds from Earth to Mars,
02:45
what kind of sounds would you send?
02:46
I think I would send forms.
02:48
Spoken word is something that is very beautiful that I like very
02:50
much. Your favorite memories are always traveling with you,
02:54
but we have a few more things we have to pack.
02:58
Are you ready to pack?
02:59
We have your favorite items,
03:01
but you can only take 3.
03:04
Somebody told us that you like popcorn and chocolates.
03:10
they don't have popcorn or chocolate in Mars.
03:12
We have some chamoyer,
03:14
the Beatles. This is your abuela's diary.
03:17
All her stories are here.
03:18
And of course, a tortilla presser.
03:21
And then of course your lies.
03:23
Oh, and you're going to have to make that last.
03:25
No, because I'm going to finish on the trip,
03:28
so I'm going to take the music.
03:29
I'm going to take the other music and I'm going to take
03:33
we're going to take a nap nap for 3 months.
03:35
There you go. But I think it's fine.
03:38
Yeah. What do you think about Ina's and Antonio's relationship giving
03:42
the distance and uncertainty that they had to face laosanosins quest to
04:03
The connection between Earth and Mars is about to be cut
04:06
off. In just a few moments we will have our last
04:09
transmission before silence, except we're gonna do it telenovela style,
04:16
Anna, Teresa, I have to confess.
04:19
What is it? I've been so in and out without you
04:22
In and Out is on Earth.
04:26
You came to Earth just to get in and out?
04:29
Why didn't you tell me?
04:29
You said that. Yeah,
04:42
thank you and see what makes Punto Rojountazul stand out as an
04:48
audio drama that's worth listening to.
04:50
It's just such a beautiful story full of heart,
04:52
and I think there's very few like this.
04:54
It really is, and it's an immersive experience.
04:57
Make sure to listen.
