![]() When I was a kid, I wanted to be Elisabeth… Let’s see! I do not see them as goals, but as continuous and deeply complex studies. I would like to work on a great art film someday, proving myself in a strong inner and subtle role. My goal is to improve these studies more and more. I brought on stage a show dedicated to Anna Magnani and one to Mia Martini, a great satisfaction for my soul, but still unfinished. Some goals have already been achieved: I had the honor of playing Medea and Filumena Marturano. Without the theatre, nothing would have been and nothing would have been shared… What woman from the past or present would you love to play someday? You are the artistic curator of the Accademia Magna Graecia: what message would you share with people to bring them closer to the theatre’s world? I would simply say that theatre was born with mankind and is the cradle of us being. What do you prefer about the theatre and what instead of cinema/television?Ībout theatre, I prefer the direct and constant challenge with yourself and with the audience, the flow of energy, the inherent exchange during the “moment on stage.” About cinema, I love the truth, the introspection, the micro intentions…the deep feeling that an actor must seek to create a connection with the audience. Walk with your head held high, be proud of everything that you can conquer thanks to your abilities, and always do your best. Never bend, don’t let your soul get dirty, don’t accept compromises. To study a lot and never settle… and be HUMBLE, and I’m talking about the real humbleness given by awareness, attention, and intelligence. The courage to study, to question yourself, to dare, to never give up, to not be afraid of difficulties! And what’s the piece of advice that you would love to share with young people entering this field of work? You had the chance to train with great masters such as Andrea Camilleri, Vittorio Gassman, and Dario Fo’: what’s the greatest lesson that you’ve learned over time?ĬOURAGE. ![]() It’s always been like this, now more than ever. I was able, almost always, to combine all these jobs by constantly studying a lot… Sometimes I had to choose and to give up to something, giving priority not to the most “important” projects, but to those that gave me the greatest joy. Cinema is the great opportunity music is the great freedom and theatre is the great magic.ĭubbing is a unique, fun, and, at the same time, stressful experience, yet it fascinates me a lot. I didn’t choose the stage, the stage chose me. And I would have never bet on myself: I am very shy and insecure. Singing then turned out to be the absolute freedom for my soul. I’m still studying at the Actor’s Studio in Rome when I am not busy working on projects. It was my favorite game! Then I chose to attend drama school (“Accademia d’Arte Drammatica”) and, in the meanwhile, I felt the need to improve myself. Over the years, the school fueled my passion and my curiosity for theatre this was the place where I felt free. I wanted to see once again that wonderful and colorful opera, and re-listen to the music that allowed me to dream! From that experience, I wanted to collect many more: concerts, painting exhibitions, stage performances, museums…I’ve never given up my “addiction” for Arts! ![]() When they asked me, “why are you crying?”, I replied unexpectedly, “Again!”. When I was three years old, I was taken to see “La Traviata” (“The Fallen Woman”) at the Royal Theatre of Saint Charles in Naples: on that occasion, my mother was worried that the opera could have been too much for me since it was “too demanding for a child.” But I surprised everyone because I watched the whole show, and I cried only during the curtain call of the cast. My passion for the Arts was born a long time ago and it’s part of the education to beauty and culture that I received from an early age. Theatre and film actress, dubber, and singer: how did these passions come to be and how did you manage to combine them over time? And what about her future? Sarah’s future is full of creativity and genuine hope, both for herself and other people. After her roles in “My Brilliant Friend” and “Gomorrah,” the actress is currently playing Aunt Luciana in the stage adaptation of “ Loose Cannons” by Ferzan Ozpetek. Sarah Falanga told us about her career, the lessons she learned with teachers such as Andrea Camilleri, Vittorio Gassman and Dario Fo’, the importance of humility, diversity and making the difference, one of the many reasons that also led her to embrace the mission of the Amici per il Centrafrica Onlus. In other words, an incredible artist and woman. Theatre and film actress, dubber and singer: in other words, an incredible multifaceted talent.
