Today we've started to rehearse
"HOMECOMING" by Harold Pinter.
I remember I've worked only once Pinter at school and
it wasn't easy at all, but I am not scared.
I feel very attracted by my character, Ruth, and while
I was reading the play for the first time, a part of me, Karme, had the feeling
to talk to her and tell her to be strong, and fight against the rest of the
characters but this is something that happens to me very often when I read a
play that I really like.
Then, I understand that the characters have their own life
and that as an actress I can't pretend to let her know how she should be or how
she should act cause I don't know her! I don't know anything about her life,
her past, her sadness, or her loneliness.
That's why I feel I've a piece of art between my hands
that I've to respect. And try to be involved deeply and slowly like when you
want to do something without being discovered.
Yesterday, alone, at home, after having read the play
several times I have started playing with a mask, trying to imagine her. Maybe
some of yours you will think that I am crazy, but it helps me to get closer to
the role. It was just a game, or a test. Now, the rest is in the universe, like
floating in space, written there, by Pinter ,to be discovered and try to know her.
