From Shakespeare To Wild Dolphins

...The Minack Theater perched on the cliffs high above the Atlantic Ocean. 
A breathtaking sight revealed itself to me. It is difficult to put this into words. It was also one of the sunniest days of all here in the UK, with a bright blue sky, a turquoise ocean, and the most wonderful place I can imagine for Shakespeare plays. 
Pure magic, I felt at home for a moment ...

I felt deeply happy and grateful and remembered my time as an occasional "actress". Romeo and Juliet, I was 13 and played Julia in our theater group. At that time, I wanted to become an actress, but I needed patience ... and everything turned out differently. In a roundabout way, I came back for some fashion shows and small roles on television followed. In a crime episode, I had to "die" in front of the camera, with agony, in poisoning, the worse was to lay quiet afterward, not to breathe, not to wink ... not easy at all... believe me ;) The make-up artist did a great job, I was deathly pale, and my veins were perfect to see ...

 

I played a funny episode with Christian Tramitz and various commercials in Germany.

 

One day, I was called to a casting for a pilot as one of the main characters. We were only 2 in the final round. My colleague made the race, and I really was happy for her, she was the right choice. This crime series is still on TV today.

 

All this is a few years back and came back here to my mind ...

 

After leaving the country, to protect and help stranded dolphins, whales, and seals, working with different associations, I dedicated myself completely to nature and animals, the oceans, and their inhabitants, as well as Annette von Bieber (former DolphinArt Italy)… but I'm sure I will come back more often to The Minack Theater, as long as I'm here working in the UK, and will certainly continue to do so when I return to Italy, to see some plays, under the open sky and the sound of the sea…

 

I took the road less traveled and that has made all the difference... Robert Frost
