From Lentini to Rome and then to
New York.
How is this
path born?
"I was
4 when I said:
I will be an actress when I grow up. I always had
a vivid imagination. I had fun
inventing stories with protagonists
characters that I played, managing to amaze my viewers,
who were family and friends
who turned into a real audience. Since then I have understood
that as an adult I could have
been an actress. I was also a very shy little
girl and hid my shyness behind the characters I created È.
But what does theater represent
for you?
ÇThe theater is part of me. It cannot be separated from my personality. Every time I go
on stage I become that character I play and live.
After 16 years
of intense work, I always demand
the impossible from myself
and I am always in search of perfection È.
How much did
acting affect your life?
ÇTheater is my life itself. It is a sacred fire,
a passion that has become my
only profession. It has conditioned
my whole life with enormous efforts. Immediately after graduating from high school I moved to - Rome, where I attended the La Scaletta
Academy and embarked on a long journey
that made me a professional
actress. Now I have decided
to move to the United States, where there
is meritocracy. I will dedicate myself more consistently to the cinema. After
many sacrifices, I managed to get the green card that will allow
me to live in the Big Apple È,
What were the most significant moments of your career?
ÇCertainly
when I worked at the Greek
Theater in Syracuse. On that extraordinary stage, an ancestral
ancestral relationship between my origins
and acting was created. A very
important experience even during the recitation of a monologue on the Holocaust, preceded by long studies on the Holocaust È.
In a few months it will
definitely leave for the United States. What are the new projects?
"Meanwhile, a tour is already ready in various Italian cities to present my latest
monologue" Una donna fantasiusa
". The journey to the States will follow where
I will present the soliloquy in the double version,
English and Sicilian È.
