Fiona May, the theatrical challenge with "New York Marathon"

"I love challenges. Sport has taught me to win but also to lose, we must also be able to deal with disappointments and unexpected events, it is fundamental not to lose hope". This is how Fiona May, protagonist with Luisa Cattaneo of the theater show "New York Marathon" by Edoardo Erba, appears from 30 July in Sardinia between Arzachena, Tempio, Macomer and Lanusei for the Cedac Season. The former long jump world champion plays "a strong woman, in a sense a little aggressive, but this is her attitude towards life, she is a combative woman unlike her best friend, more fragile - she tells 'ANSA - the show is both' physical 'and psychological, we run and act together, and this reflects the friendship between women ".
    "New York Marathon" is a journey into the female universe: the lucky piece, directed by Andrea Bruno Savelli, represents "a new challenge" for the athlete, already winner of the 3rd edition of "Dancing under the stars "and third place in" It can be done! ". Born in England, of Jamaican origins and who chose Italy as her chosen homeland, Fiona became passionate about acting after the success of the TV series "Butta la luna" and her happy debut in front of the camera in "Guinea Pig- La Cavia ", an award-winning short film that earned her the Golden Globe Italia. "Sport is part of my life, it taught me to set goals and commit myself to achieving them, despite the difficulties and obstacles, and the pleasure of reaching the end", he confesses.
    The pandemic also influenced its existence. "The lockdown was hard - he admits - I was afraid but I am a mother and I had to give an example of tranquility to the girls. The virus has changed the way of life, for athletes it is a difficult time, even the Olympics have been canceled. And also in the theater with interrupted tours: I am happy to be able to recover the dates in Sardinia ".
    Icon of contemporary beauty for Yves Rocher, Fiona has not been touched except indirectly by aging and prejudices about age. "50 is just a number, I don't feel 50 years old, even though I have become wiser, more peaceful, I feel safer now. I think - she explains - that this phenomenon arises from fear, intelligent and successful women frighten, especially men who don't feel up to it. " "The key to change is education - she says with conviction - it is a new challenge: culture must be changed, it is time for a rebirth". (HANDLE).
