Diego Luna spoke to Life and Style of this second season. “We return with great certainty that we have to continue, at this point” Pan y circo “is just finding its shape. This second installment has undergone some essential changes to survive in these times of pandemic, in these moments in which something that has changed is the ritual of food, “explained Luna by video call.
“Bread and circus” is a discussion table in which current issues are discussed while eating, as if it were any conversation at home or with friends, in an atmosphere that never seeks to break the cordiality.
“We understood what the public wanted to see from the program, we decided to make a table a little more intimate, with fewer guests (sic) and a slightly longer program, that is to give everyone the opportunity to argue in a more profound way, ”Luna explained.
We want to pay that in the public arena we listen to each other a little more and open ourselves to understand each other
For Diego Luna, these months of isolation regarding Covid-19 were not as easy as for most people. “We stopped all interaction dynamics, it was very difficult for me not to have a beer in hand at noon,” he jokes.
“The pandemic brought me many reflections, for example in my diet, now I eat much more at home and I am the one who cooks. Of the places that I occupied less in my house and today I occupy more is my kitchen, this helped me to relate more with my food and with the execution”Diego recalled regarding how his dynamics were altered with isolation.
The charolastra was working on projects from London, so the sanitary measures forced him to be away from the team in Mexico, which is why he had to enter another dynamic with his own production.
“I am very proud to work with the people who make up the team, as well as those who do the research, learning that a lot can be done with all these communication tools and of course I have learned to delegate a lot”, laughs Diego.
For the actor recently recognized by the Gold Platinum award in Madrid, Spain , always has a critical opinion or judgment regarding the times.
We have many problems in common and dialogue can help us find a solution together
“Mexico is at a time when hopefully we would listen to each other more as we seek to happen in” Pan y Circo. ” I wish we were willing to understand each other, not necessarily to agree, but to respect and understand; celebrate our differences and find our coincidences ”, says the actor.
For the “Rogue One” actor, the frontal confrontation in which society finds itself must seek to reconcile and understand the reasons for this in order to eventually minimize it to reach agreements.
Polarization and that fracture can then turn out to be irreconcilable, you have to react before that happens
And for Diego Luna, who should be at the table of “Pan y Circo”? Although it is not an easy choice, the interpreter reflects that a guest in this discussion is about the purpose of the conversation and not the other way around.
“The theme tells us what themes or what voices to have. Although there is someone that I would have liked to have there at the table, of course it is no longer possible because he has already left us, but it would be Carlos Monsivais; an indispensable chronicler to understand us“, Explain. “The times I had to be close to him and listen to him seemed very valuable to me. It would have been great to have it there. A very critical man, very sharp”, He concluded.
Bread and circus is available on Amazon Prime from October 8 on the streaming platform.
