After an eight-year professional career in Mexico, Catalan actress Mónica Pont has returned to Spain to resume her career on national stages with the premiere of the play “Sofocos IA” at the Zorrilla Theater in Valladolid. At 54 years old, Pont is not only acting but also serving as an associate producer on this project, which seeks to make female maturity visible and dignified by addressing topics like hormonal changes and menopause without taboos. Her return is motivated by the desire to reconnect with the Spanish public, her closeness to her son Javier, and the need to leave behind a period of insecurity abroad after suffering threats from a gang of robbers.
