Vix is about to launch a new version of the 1958 telenovela, Senda Prohibida, this time in a series format that will feature a great cast that includes Dalexa Meneses, a young and talented actress who exclusively told us some plot details, his character and his experience as part of this period project.
Interview with Dalexa Meneses from Senda Prohibida
At just 21 years old, Dalexa Meneses has already participated in several successful productions such as the Netflix series, ‘Madre there are only two’, or in the Televisa soap opera ‘El amor invencible’.
The young actress told us that her passion for acting began when she was very young: “If something was clear to me, it’s that I want to be an actress, I was one of those restless girls who, at any meeting, always looked for any excuse to present her something to my family: a scene that I learned from my favorite movies or sing to them.
It was thanks to my parents, who began to realize that little tickle, who helped me enter this world.
However, he has also had to go through several challenges with each new project in which he participates: “I think I have faced many, just in this last one, which is ‘Senda Prohibida’, something that was very difficult for me, it was entering all this 50’s era, in this whole “lady good” mentality, trying to understand the way the world around my character behaves without judging him, keeping in mind that they were different times.
Understanding that as a 21st century woman was quite complicated and has been one of the things that has cost me the most”.
Dalexa gives life to Martha Rubio, the daughter and sister of the two men who fall in love with the same woman in the plot of Senda Prohibida.
What does it mean to you to be part of Senda Prohibida?
“It’s really a dream come true, because I’ve always wanted to do something period, to try to play a person from a completely different time.
Forbidden Path came at a time when I really wasn’t expecting any project, and this character and this story came at the perfect time, and for that I’m very fond of this story, and especially my character.”
What did you like the most about the period in which the series takes place?
“What I like the most, without a doubt, are the changing rooms. Every time I got into my camper to see the changing rooms, I fell completely in love with each one of the dresses, the way they set everything up, the sets, the cars, but above all, the fact that we can see what they were like. things at that time.
However, we can also appreciate the perspective of women who are trying to overcome all these limits that they come to have in their different situations”.
What do you admire about your character?
“What I admire most about my character is her courage, she is a woman who knows what she wants even though it may not be what is expected of her, and she is very brave, she makes decisions throughout the series that I feel that for a woman of her time, you could see negative complements with strong consequences. She is very brave “.
What lesson did this project teach you?
“He left me many things, both my character and the project. The project itself helped me grow a lot as an actor, I experienced many things within the project that helped me grow as a person, as a human being, as an actress.
I was surrounded by people who taught me so much, my director Gustavo Ron is a person who, without a doubt, believed in me from the first moment and knew how to bring out this side of me as an actress that I didn’t know I had.
From my character, I learned to take risks. Life is one, and we have to take risks, we have to make decisions in order to get where we want to go, taking our environment into account.
Why can’t we miss Senda Prohibida?
“Forbidden Path is a project that is full of things: they are going to be able to have romance, they are going to have drama, betrayals… it has a little bit of everything, there are many surprises to come in the series, and I am sure that it will catch them from the first moment, and they will not want to stop the series ”
