“By decision of the entrepreneurs, Nito Artaza, I will leave the play. I’m going to do the last few functions in Rosario. They’re going to restructure the work, and that’s fine with me. He has every right to do whatever he wants with his work,” Lavíe confirmed in dialogue with Radio Mitre, where he first recounted his sensations.” I was scheduled for a tour, a performance in Chile but they decided to do it because I am very expensive for this work. Nito wouldn’t want to stay with me,” he said, while stressing that it wasn’t strange to him but “for everyone it was a surprise.” You didn’t expect such a thing. This is a business beyond the artistic act. It’s a play he intended to do two functions on the weekends and it’s a little impossible for where we are.”
Raúl Lavie spoke of his departure from “La Cage de las Locas” by decision of Nito Artaza.
Regarding the ways in which he gives his way out of “The Mad Cage,” he added: “I’m finding out about the chimentos that I’m not going to follow in the play. We agreed we ended up in Rosario. Everything else I hear about gossip. It’s very hard to talk to Nito and agree. He’s on time and he doesn’t have time to talk. And when the show ends I want to go home,” he said. He also spoke of the moment of tension he experienced with Artaza, which was key to his departure. “He didn’t know how to interpret a joke I made to him and he got angry. I’m not going to get into silly things at my stage in my career. It got big. I don’t have a problem with him. I’m not going to deal with little things and the miseries that people have.”
