—
In an interview with Corriere della SeraGiuliana De Sio told her story profession of unfiltered theater actress. The 68-year-old compared herself to the South Tyrolean tennis champion: “This year was a truly magical moment for me: I won the Grand Slam. I’m Sinner“, she confessed proud of the goals achieved, not taking into account the fact that Jannik has not yet reached the Grand Slam in his career.
What awards has De Sio won? “The institutional ones, the most important ones, I won them all. The Anct in 2024; then I won the Le Maschere del Teatro Italiano Award as Best Leading Actress for Things I know to be true. Now they have also nominated me for Ubu”. Giuliana De Sio explained why he never talks about these successes: “The theater is a bit of an association of carbonari. If someone wins Donatello’s David, everyone writes about it. If someone wins the most prestigious theater awards, no one knows“.

The actress confessed what the career differences between theater and cinema. “In the theater I relieved myself of many cravings. I was aristocratic, beggar, intellectual, ignorant, childish, a bad mother. Cinema also recognized me: I have been nominated for six Davids and I have won two of them. Six nominations also for the Telegatti”.
In the new theater show he plays Arkadinaa character that according to her “all actresses want to do because she’s a bitch…. I make bitches… nice: People don’t come away thinking the character is unpleasant. Dini tells me that I am defending my Arkadina too much, he would like her to be meaner.” She is interpreting this role in a “comical” way: “I don’t really believe that bad guys exist. There are very cynical people, yes. They are the ones who are leading the world to ruin. A minority that dominates the majority”. Indeed, however, a person considered “terrible” met her: “When I went to work with Strehler everyone told me: ‘You’ll see, it will turn you around.’ Instead, it didn’t do anything to me at all.”
Does Giuliana De Sio still have fun at the theater?

During the interview Giuliana De Sio also told her life story theater actress: he is “well, as good as one can be doing hundreds of kilometers every day, interviews, tests…”. However, she then responded to the journalist who defined her as “always dazzling” flawlessly: “But the experience is there. Others treat me like I’m a girl. ‘Have some respect, don’t ask me to do twenty-year-old things.’ But I do them anyway.”
Giuliana De Sio admitted that it’s not always easy: “There are evenings in which I manage to grasp the meaning of what I do, I feel a fullness… and others in which everything seems useless, empty. Before entering the stage, sometimes, I’m not turned on by that light needed to go on stage“. Light is “a desire, a desire, an urgency. Something that leads you to go on stage not with an emptiness but with a fullness inside. And there’s no gas station: you have to supply the petrol yourself. You look for it within yourself, in readings, observing people, in solitude. Sometimes you find it, sometimes you don’t. But it also happens that, like last night, I felt powerless and then, once on stage, this force invaded me. I put on a great show last night.”
