Florencia Cuenca, a Mexican actress and daughter of a renowned comedian, is about to fulfill one of her biggest dreams by debuting on Broadway. Despite having lived in New York for nearly a decade, this milestone in her career has taken her on an unexpected path that has distanced her from her family in Mexico.
Since childhood, Florencia has felt a passion for musical theater, influenced by her father, which led her to take acting classes from an early age. After the loss of her father, her mother enrolled her in musical theater lessons to continue her training, a step that ultimately took her to New York, a place she never thought she would come to call home.
Although she has participated in Mexican productions such as 'Mujer: Casos de la vida real' and 'Te sigo amando', stardom on Broadway is an unimaginable achievement for her. The play she will be part of, 'Real Women Have Curves', presents a powerful message about women's courage and self-acceptance, a theme that resonates deeply with Florencia.
Being away from her home country has been one of the greatest sacrifices for the actress, who misses her family, her food, and her culture. Although the journey in New York has been filled with challenges and obstacles, Florencia has found greater support in the United States than in Mexico, particularly in the entertainment industry.
With her eyes set on the premiere of the play, Florencia hopes to convey a message of empowerment and autonomy, especially at a time marked by anti-immigrant policies. For her, it is crucial that all kinds of bodies and voices are represented in the media, a fight she hopes to carry forward through her work on Broadway.
