I launched a survey on the internet that has reached internationally so far more than 500,000 people from 5 continents to choose one of 5 topics to talk about during 13-14 pm Egyptian time on Cairo Radio Thursday 17 February 95.4 FM, Nilesat 11766. https://tunein.com/radio/Radio-Cairo-954-s9583/ The theme “What it means to be a star” has been chosen, so I will talk about this with the great TV presenter and radio actor Marco Mohamed Ahmed. I am speaking of Sophia Loren who today shows herself with the crystallized mask of Sophia Loren, but also as Sophia from Pozzuoli who, however, can no longer erase from her face the indelible marks of Sophia Loren, who in turn, at times, shows Sophia of Pozzuoli. I also talk on the legend Dalida, an idol still today of Egypt and the Arab world, of France, Italy and the rest of Europe and the rest of the world. We met in Bari, at the Petruzzelli theater, during “La Caravella dei Successi“, then in Paris through Italo Cirri (Christian) also beautician of the legends Marlene Dietrich https://youtu.be/pnTVmsban5g and Juliette Grecó. Dalida faced the scene in a sublime way, sending the audience into raptures as she always talked to soul of everybody from her soul showed strong and full of wounds. Then, when she came down from the stage among the people, Dalida had to represent the Dalida of the scene in a “life” guise. Jolanda Gigliotti (Dalida’s real name) was left alone in a photograph of her when she was fourteen and nothing more. Her Egypt too, by now, where Dalida was born, was distant, living Dalida in France. The triumphs multiplied and each time choosing a new song that triumphed was more and more difficult and stressful, as well as giving the character Dalida, outside the scene, new identities … while to Jolanda, Dalida’s true identity, nothing, immersed in the solitude of a dark room, sitting in a corner, ignored, while now Dalida alone sang about Jolanda’s pain. And when, one day Dalida runs to Jolanda to caress her, but Jolanda was no longer there since she was now totally transformed into Dalida. Then : ” Life is unbearable for me, excuse me “

And the lights go out forever. Me ? I know this tragedy on my skin. I will soon sing with music by Remo Licastro who in collaboration with Tony Esposito wrote “Kalimba de Luna”, Dalida’s world hit .https: //youtu.be/gykVAujo1QM . Today young people are getting closer to me, they want to know me better, especially after having seen my videos. But I, in life, carry the blinding lights of the scene with me and, knowing this, I advise young people to continue following me in my films, in my songs and not get too close to me as real person , since they may discover that Federico they are looking for, the human being who they want from me and that gives them so many emotions, it hasn’t existed for a long time ago , like Jolanda. In my latest film “Extreme” https://youtu.be/E0J-BI9c90g the protagonist Victor, defends himself from the wounds of a manipulating love, which could be a bipolar person, saying: “You will not believe that I who have resisted your blows, appearing strong, to survive, I am no longer myself. That way you can’t even call me anymore, to keep stabbing my heart. Now I am a cloned and your knife blows fall on you, where it is finally right for them to go “. Victor is also the metaphor of a star and the bipolar person he talks to is also metaphorically the manipulating tragedy of Covid, in the crucial year of 2022. The title of “Extreme” is flanked by “Equality 2022 stops”. Victor is not a sick person, but he just wants to survive the illness of his interlocutor who grips him and makes him unfairly disabled, as it forces him to hide from life, making him unequal, non-existent, to be ignored. Every word of the film is linked to our days. The subject of the film was written by a disabled person, winner of a competition that promotes equality and creativity in the disabled. The concept was written by me, by the great musician Tarek Sharara, who writes the music for the film http://tareksharara.com/ and by AD-Doris Ainedter http://dorisainedter.online/tablet/index.html who signs scenes and costumes and says : “ I supported the content of the film to give a statement and a voice to Human Rights and Equality, part of H.R. . Respect is the only way to succeed in life . Fashion is my voice and my statement to make peoples shiny and be seen “ . I think seeing “Extreme” more than once serves to better understand ourselves, the reality that surrounds us, also showing us the suffering and human tragedy that hides under the enchanted and enchanting mask of the great stars. The film is dedicated to Tarek Sharara https://youtu.be/q4WeuR0RNNw
