Production for the long awaited “La Gata” began in the Bordo de Xochiaca dump, located in Nezahualcóyotl. It will be one of the main locations for the novela, where the characters Esmeralda (Perroni), Doña Rita (Pilar Pellicer), Jarocha (Leticia Perdigón), Fela (Erika Buenfil) y Mercedes (Socorro Bonilla) will live.

Maite Perroni and Daniel Arenas, the protagonists, attended the first filming and posed smiling in the dump. Pierre Louis and Alejandra Robles, who will play Centavito and Inés, were also present. Director Víctor Rodríguez commanded the filming, which included about 50 extras that played the rag pickers of the dump. The cast was thrilled to begin this new adventure, which for sure will be a huge success.

The story, originally written by Inés Rodena, will be adapted by María Antonieta “Calú” Gutiérrez and produced by Nathalie Lartilleux. It will premiere on May 5.
