Vanessa Bauche jumps into the world of voice acting with 'Circo Gómez'

Vanessa Bauche, known for her role in the 2000 film "Amores perros," is lending her voice to the new ViX animated series "Circo Gómez." The show, premiering June 5, centers on a family struggling to keep a circus inherited from their ancestors afloat.

“

I enjoyed it a lot because obviously you project yourself. I remembered 'Amores perros' and said, 'They're throwing this one at me.'

Bauche portrays Lupita, a character she relates to as a former telenovela actress living off past glories. "I enjoyed it a lot because obviously you project yourself. I remembered 'Amores perros' and said, 'They're throwing this one at me,'" she joked. She finds tenderness in the character's pursuit of dreams, acknowledging that many people hold onto aspirations that may not be entirely realistic but help them move forward.

“

I found it very funny and tender, because if we analyze ourselves, many of us nurture dreams that may not be so realistic, but that serve us to keep moving forward, like her and her family.

The Mexican production appeals to Bauche's desire to work in voice acting. She highlights the series' refreshing blend of irreverent humor and layered storytelling, praising the talented voice cast. "Circo Gómez" follows in the vein of other Mexican animated comedies like "La familia de barrio" and "Huevocartoon," offering sharp, relatable humor.

The level of irreverent humor and the layers of meaning the series presents are very refreshing, and the talents providing the voices are wonderful.

The Gómez family includes parents Filiberto (voiced by Eugenio Derbez) and Lupita (Bauche), along with their children Vicky (Diana Bovio) and Refugio. Their chaotic circus life, filled with failed performances and eccentric artists, exposes their differences but ultimately strengthens their family bond. Bauche emphasizes that the series touches on family values, acceptance of differences, and navigating conflicts with love.

“

It has to do with family values, with knowing how to accept ourselves with our differences and conflicts, but always with love.
