Humberto Zurita returns to Lima to premiere his theatrical work El seductor, a comedy of misunderstandings in which the Mexican actor seeks to distance himself from the stereotype of the traditional heartthrob. In a recent Zoom interview, Zurita reflected on his career, describing it as “versatile” and “fortunate,” highlighting his work in both television and film.
During the conversation, the actor addressed the political polarization affecting Latin America. “It’s a recurring problem in Mexico. There have always been rich and poor, but politics should benefit the people,” he stated. He also expressed his hope that governments focus on eradicating poverty in the region.
Regarding his new character, Zurita mentioned that he has adapted his role to avoid making it a “hateful cynic.” “He’s an adorable cynic, with a twist that makes him more interesting,” he explained. The play, which will be presented at the Auditorio del Colegio San Agustín, also invites reflection on current gender dynamics.
On another note, Zurita mentioned his participation in the second season of The Office and his interest in future film projects, although they are still in preliminary stages. For more details on the cultural scene in Peru, as we reported in this note, Zurita’s return promises to be a standout event in the theatrical landscape.
