I remember being in love with the dance since I was a child.
I lived with my dad and grandparents in a small conservative town not too far
from Rome. My mum passed away suddenly when I was 6 and the whole
family was left in shock and chaos. I have a vivid memory of my dad telling me
that she was dead (after more than one month. I remember also the confusion,
as I knew something horrible happened but nobody was telling me what was
really going on): he told me that from that moment on I had to behave
and be responsible.
My grandparents were catholic, old fashioned and not really gifted with
lightness or sense of humour. I didn’t like going to school: I felt in a cage and
not understood by the adults.
Only now as an adult I am aware of the immense stress I was
carrying in my little body and how trauma can be cry
