Vanity Fair Stories 2022, Drusilla Foer: «Naturality is the key to elegance»

He ends singing beautifully I will survive by Gloria Gaynor, after a story that is of so many details on the stage of Vanity Fair Stories. For Drusilla Foer they count as much as loyalty counts even in change. “Change requires commitment, renunciation. I have to leave a vision of myself and often I don’t have one to replace. Change makes us lose what we were. I recommend the revolution for young people. For me, change for me is a re-evaluation of giving a new place to the things we have in our lives, what agitates me is the urgency of change that makes mistakes, it takes time. When a love story ends, the need for love is stronger».

After the success of the previous four editions, the Vanity Fair Storiesthe largest fully live event of Vanity Fair which for the first time is staged at Giorgio Gaber Opera House in Milan (via Larga 14).

This year’s theme The change is you, stories that change the world. Many characters alternate on the stage who are an active part of the change: actors and directors, comedians and singers, writers, dancers, key figures of culture.

Among these also Drusilla Foer in a wonderful flow of words that goes from a dream in which the challenge of Totti-Blasi bags and watches is seen again to the parts of Drusilla herself that have not evolved and that she welcomes with sympathy and her acts love. «I have done the greatest act of love with a person you love: letting them go. I really liked it afterwards.”

How do you build the Drusilla character? «The biggest commitment is loyalty to yourself. Is this thing I’m telling you real? There are at least two beings that inhabit me. Drusilla is something that allows me to be real with courage. The thing that moves me is listening: I don’t ask for it, but it moves me ».

«Naturalness makes me fall in love, coming from me it seems a paradox. An awkward man, who stumbles, a girl who smiles embarrassed. Naturalness is the key to elegance. How boring these men who fall in love» she says speaking.

Another key word is cunning. to ignore. «We must not give power to politicians who use advertising language, to those who try to seduce us with shortcuts. We must ignore the cunning. A smart one I agree immediately and I don’t forgive. You don’t need approval at all costs. When you are no longer loved as a character, there will be others. You have the affection of the public when you bring something loyal.’

The future? An upcoming album with pieces by Luttazzi, Tricarico, Mariella Nava. The release in 2023. After? «Long deadlines are not suitable for my agethey were talking to me about 2025 the other day and I closed the computer».
