Emma is "an internationally renowned choreographer who has found a way in the art of expressing her passion and also filling the lack of motherhood that happened to her 16 years earlier". A reality that suddenly changes radically and forces her to confront her past. This is how Anna Valle describes with ANSA her character in Light of your eyes, the series directed by Fabrizio Costa, with Giuseppe Zeno, in six episodes starting from 22 September in prime time on Canale 5. Just the fundamental role that in the story has the dance "attracted me," he explains. It is a world already partially addressed in L'età imperfetta, the film directed by her husband Ulisse Lendaro, "from which we are planning to develop a further project - she underlines -. The interpretation with the dance of emotions strikes me;through gestures they become even more intense. Something that has fascinated me since I saw Pina Bausch and her dancers. A dimension that I deepened thanks to the very nice meeting with the choreographer who followed us, Tiziana Cona ". In a character like Emma," I rediscover a bit of the discipline that I have developed little by little. We also have in common the passion for what we do ".

In the series, produced by Massimo Del Frate, Head of Drama of Banijay Studios Italy for Rti, written by Eleonora Fiorini and Davide Sala, we meet Emma Conti, an internationally renowned choreographer in New York for years. She had left Vicenza as a girl to try to forget the death of Alice, the child she had with her great love at the time, Davide (Bernardo Casertano). After 16 years, however, an anonymous letter insinuates in her the doubt that her daughter, believed dead at birth, is still alive and that she is in Vicenza, is studying to become a dancer. Emma decides to go home and working as a teacher in the dance academy founded by her mother Paola (Paola Pitagora) tries to understand who Alice could be among the students: Valentina (Elisa Visari), Anita (Sabrina Martina), Miranda ( Gea Dall'Orto),Sofia (Rebecca Antonaci), Alessia (Stella Maya Epifani), Martina (Linda Pani). A research that is intertwined with the meeting with Enrico Leoni (Zeno), teacher in the scientific high school attended by dancers and father of one of Emma's students. Among the other interpreters also Maria Rosaria Russo, Francesca Beggio, Luca Bastianello, Yari Gugliucci and Carla Ferraro.

An important part of the story is also the difficult relationship between Emma and her mother Paola: "A tough character - explains Anna Valle - with a typical discipline of a dancer. I did not know Paola Pitagora, she is a very smart woman and a great actress. together it was very enriching ". Also with Giuseppe Zeno it is the first project together: "Between our characters a bond is born in a very gradual way, because Emma doesn't trust anyone. All the characters in the story have something to hide". Giuseppe Zeno "is a very nice actor, we had a lot of fun together".

The experience of shooting during the pandemic with security protocols at first "was a bit alienating, but after a few weeks it all came very naturally." This time there was the advantage for Anna Valle of shooting in Vicenza, the city where she lives with her husband and two children: "For once I didn't have to leave home - she comments with a smile - it was a good news for me. and my family "Motherhood returns, albeit in a different key, as a theme also in the new series that the actress shot in the summer for Rai1, Lea and the children of others, with Giorgio Pasotti:" There I am a nurse who has lost a child, devoted to dedicating herself to helping others ".


TV and cinema have been able to reopen the sets, while for the cinemas and the live show the difficulties remain with the capacities still limited: "We have all noticed the disparities, if we think about how often it happens to travel on full trains and planes - he comments the actress who is a member of Unita, the association founded by more than 100 theater and audiovisual interpreters -. I understand it is not easy to decide, but we must finally understand that culture is also a priority ".
