Film People Project

Film People Project is a photographic archive of people and the films that shaped their lives

The Nigthmare Before Christmas gave a name to my alter ego, Sally Van Tassel: Sally is the doll from this film, Van Tassel comes from Katrina in Sleepy Hollow, even though I’m more Sally than Katrina. The first time I saw it I was at home, and I thought that Sally was one of the most extraordinary female characters I had ever seen, deep and at the same time light. The fact that she struggles to express herself felt just like me, and that’s why now Sally expresses herself through me on stage”

Nightmare Before Christmas ha dato il nome al mio alter ego, cioè Sally Van Tassel: Sally è la bambola di questo film, Van Tassel è la Katrina di Sleepy Hollow, anche se sono più Sally che Katrina. La prima volta che l’ho visto ero a casa e ho pensato che quello di Sally fosse uno dei personaggi femminili più straordinari, profondi e allo stesso tempo leggeri che io avessi mai visto e che quel suo non riuscire a esprimersi fosse me: per questo adesso Sally attraverso me si esprime sul palco”
