IRIS
IRIS, 30, open ethnicity, FRANCOPHONE, is an interior designer and Rex’s owner. Coming from an affluent bourgeois background, she grows up believing that the world is structured according to a clear and unshakable hierarchy. From an early age, she learns how to get what she wants while concealing her deepest vulnerabilities, particularly a fear of abandonment stemming from her parents’ divorce. Elegant and polished, with a natural screen presence. Socially confident, she is highly controlled in her appearance, posture, gestures and language. Perfectionist, demanding, and organized, she has a natural sense of authority. She can be warm and charming, but there should always be a sense that she is carefully observing and controlling her environment. Able to convey subtle violence through a look, silence, or polite remark rather than direct confrontation. Beneath her calm exterior and control, she hides a certain vulnerability. She must be able to portray an ambiguous attachment to Julia, combining genuine affection, condescension, jealousy, and a need for closeness. A morally complex character that should not immediately come across as “the bad guy.”
LIAM
LIAM, 33, open ethnicity, FRANCOPHONE, Iris’s husband and Rex’s owner, is a charismatic man who is highly skilled in social interactions. Coming from a wealthy family with dubious business practices, Liam learned early that power belongs to those who know how to bend the rules. Behind his image as a self-made man on social media, much of Liam’s success is built on his family’s money and Iris’s wealth. Their marriage is a constant power struggle: Iris is both his greatest trophy and a threat to his need for control. Liam needs to seduce, possess, and feel that he dominates his surroundings. When a problem arises, he is not interested in the truth, but in whatever version of events best serves him. Athletic, polished, and socially confident, with an effortless air of success. Charming and energetic, he naturally draws attention in a room and can appear warm, funny, and generous. His charisma should gradually reveal something more intimidating and unsettling beneath the surface. The actor should be able to portray an ambiguous, manipulative, and controlling character without immediately appearing antagonistic, while suggesting contained violence behind his charming, composed exterior. Comfortable with psychological tension and power dynamics.
ALICE
Alice, open ethnicity, FRANCOPHONE, is Julia’s classmate in dental practicals. At 25, she is younger and more resourceful than Julia. A final-year dental hygiene student, she absolutely needs to complete her practical requirements in order to graduate. Although she is paired with Julia, Alice takes on most of the work. More mature, worldly, and highly sociable, Alice tolerates Julia without considering her a friend. They never spend time together outside of school. Sharp and resourceful, Alice is hardworking and socially capable, with a grounded, no-nonsense energy.
Claire
Claire is Ryan’s ex-partner. She can be as kind, charmingly laid-back, and independent as she can be an argumentative, lazy, self-centered slob. She’s trying to get through the worst day of her life: the day where her best friend, Emma, marries her ex-boyfriend. To deal with the discomfort of the situation, she finds the cellar, a quiet place to smoke in peace. Her feelings towards Ryan have festered and worsened through their years apart; confronting him would allow her to let go of the bitter feeling she holds for a man that a part of her still loves. Character will be handling cigarettes, but will not be smoking. Please note that a minimum of two days of rehearsals are required for the role of Claire. Exact date TBD.
Ryan
Ryan is Claire’s ex-partner. He is as caring and sensitive as he is controlling and selfish. He is marrying Emma. His wedding nerves lead his Type A personality to hyperfixate on finding a bottle of champagne in the venue's cellar. Ryan has an adversarial attitude toward his former lover, Claire due to their messy breakup, while still deeply caring about her. Confronting Claire would allow him to let go of the past and the feelings he has bottled up for years. Please note that a minimum of two days of rehearsals are required for the role of Ryan. Exact date TBD.
Luke
Luke is Ryan’s lovable older brother. He finds Claire and Ryan when they go missing.
CHAYITO
Chayito Domínguez, la hija de mayor de Huicho y Becky, es una joven atractiva sin buscar serlo, con una belleza discreta y genuina, más parecida a su mamá que a su papá: de facciones finas, mirada sensible y profunda, y una presencia que mezcla dulzura con carácter. Tiene un aire de chica responsable que creció rápido: postura ligeramente tensa, gestos contenidos y una forma de moverse que revela que siempre está pensando en algo más. Su estilo es sencillo y funcional, como alguien que prioriza lo práctico sobre lo superficial, aunque cuando se arregla, sorprende con una elegancia natural que no sabe que tiene. Tiene la apariencia de una enfermera con auténtica vocación y tiene pinta de que dentro de 20 años se seguirá viendo naturalmente bella. Transmite una vibra de calma con fondo emocional intenso: es empática, observadora y con una fuerte brújula moral, pero también vive en constante conflicto interno entre lo que siente, lo que quiere y lo que cree correcto. Es más madura que su entorno, lo que la aísla, y en el fondo busca pertenecer
LUIGI
Luigi Domínguez, el hijo menor de Huicho y Becky, es una versión adolescente de Huicho Domínguez, con una vibra que mezcla inseguridad y ego inflado: a punto de entrar en obesidad de atención clínica, ligeramente desgarbado, con una postura que oscila entre encorvada y forzada cuando quiere verse “cool”. Tiene cara de niño con cuerpo de señor. Su estilo está completamente influenciado por redes sociales y cultura pop mexicana pero más que identidad, transmite esfuerzo por encajar que se pueden evidenciar en sus gestos ensayados frente al espejo y en una mirada que constantemente busca aprobación. Su cara no refleja una pizca de inteligencia pero sí mucho buen corazón. Es el típico chavo que quiere ser alguien, pero todavía no sabe quién. Su energía es inquieta, ansiosa, con picos de seguridad falsa que se caen rápido cuando algo lo confronta. En el fondo, Luigi es noble, sensible, cursi, romántico y con buen corazón, pero profundamente inseguro; quiere ser admirado, querido y validado, especialmente por figuras femeninas y sociales, lo que lo lleva a tomar atajos, mentir o aparentar ser alguien que no es. Vive atrapado entre la presión de encajar, la comparación constante y el miedo a no ser suficiente.
