Gillet: What’s up, guys, from Breaking the Wall? We are here in Alba, alongside Andrea Mondoloni, one of the key figures in the Breaking the Wall project. Nice to meet you.

Andrea: Nice to meet you.

Gillet: We have just one question for you, which is the main question we discussed with Branx (Enrico Signa), the other Italian protagonist of Breaking The Walls; while Snook is one Italian protagonist, we also have Enrico Signa from Alba. Our question is: What has this project given you, and what have you given to this project?

Andrea: The project focuses on dance movement therapy, which allows me to incorporate my personal approach and explore how I use dance to express myself. Through dance, I can release my emotions and discover my unique way of moving, ultimately enhancing my overall well-being and mindset in life. It’s all about harnessing the transformative power of dance.

Gillet: Okay, so for the last question: What does dancing mean to you, and why did you choose this art form to express yourself?

Andrea: I feel as though I didn’t truly make a choice; I fell in love with dance at the age of 12. From that moment on, I never wanted to stop. It’s something I need in my life.

Gillet: Okay, thank you! We forgot to mention that she’s from France and her last name is Mondoloni, but she’s not Italian. You don’t speak Italian?

Andrea: No.

Gillet: You have to learn it for the next year ahah! Thank you so much.
