Sanremo 2022, the monologue (and not only) of a great Drusilla Foer

Let’s face it right away: it was worth it. To wait late at night for the monologue of Drusilla Foer, the actress born from the mind of Gianluca Gori, co-host of the third evening of Sanremo 2022. Not that Drusilla did not get noticed during the evening. For the nearly five hour show the artist proved to be a great showwoman, dosing well time and words. He presented the Big in the competition, as is usually the case with the conductors or the “valleys”, but he also joked with the singers. As well as with the members of the orchestra, the audience. In short, with everyone.

Two moments remain memorable. The dialogue with Michele Bravi, who told her: «I am delighted that you are here, your presence tells of meritocracy. How nice », said Michele. And she replied gratefully, with a hint of emotion. And then the jab, precise and without any smudging, a an unsuccessful joke by Iva Zanicchi. With the singer who tells her «how tall you are», Drusilla who answers «a lot more than you» and Zanicchi who insists: «… but you also have other things more than me». At that point Drusilla decides to cut off with great elegance: “I’m cultured.”

Finally, after half past one, Drusilla took the stage once again. For a monologue and a song. «It made me lose my desire to sing, I could talk», he began, «there are so many themes that crowd my mind, but at this hour I can’t spoil the audience. “Here she is Drusilla talking about integration, fluidity, diversity”, but “diversity” is a word that I don’t like. When I verbalize it, I always feel that I am betraying what I think. I believe that words are like diamonds, when they no longer work they must be changed immediately. I searched for a term to replace this word and found one that convinces me: uniqueness. I like uniqueness, we all like it, because we all know how to notice the uniqueness of the other and we all think we are unique. But it’s not easy at all. To understand this, we must understand what our uniqueness is made of, what we are made of. Values, convictions, talents, but talents must be trained, followed, beliefs must have their own responsibilities… ».

“And then there are the pains, the fears that must be exorcised, the frailties that must be looked after, it is not at all easy to get in touch with one’s uniqueness, it is a crazy job. How do you keep all these things together? I would have one way: we take all the things that live in us by the hand and bring each other up, the ugly and the beautiful ones, they rise together with us, in the sunlight, and we shout “what a beauty, all these things are I”. It will be crazy cool. And it will be wonderful to embrace our uniqueness, and at that point I think it will be even more likely to open up to the uniqueness of the other and move away from this state of conflict that separates us “.

Finally, an invitation: «I am already a very lucky person to be here, but make sense of my presence on this stage and let’s try together the revolutionary act, the greatest, which is listening. Listen to yourself, others, our uniqueness. We welcome it all, if only to be sure that our beliefs are not just beliefs. Let us let our thoughts and feelings flow freely and let us free ourselves from the imprisonment of immorality ».

“Imagine if the world didn’t rotate, if the whole world was pitch dark”, and here Drusilla start singing, War. Applause. Many.

“One cannot but love Drusilla Foer”, says Amadeus. And we all agree.
