Trained in acting at the “Alessandra Galante Garrone” School in Bologna and later involved in performances directed by acclaimed directors, Linda Gennari stands out as one of the leading actresses of the younger generation. Her explosive personality finds full expression in the role of a supersonic jet pilot demoted to humiliating desk duties.
It is in George Brant’s monologue Grounded, directed by Davide Livermore, that she asserts her acting authority and extraordinary stage presence. This production—conceived, suspended, and performed during the pandemic—demanded a wide range of interpretative skills. Her performance displays captivating rhythmic intensity and remarkable psychophysical stamina.
Throughout the demanding monologue, her vocal and physical feats are striking for their depth of self-analysis, capturing the anxiety and emotional weight of intelligent and harrowing questions about personal vocation, human love, and war.
She continued her collaboration with Livermore in Agamemnon by Aeschylus, playing Cassandra—shaping a stark, sorrowful figure tormented both by immersion in a world of crimes and by the duty of foretelling a tragic future for all.
With natural talent, mimetic skills, and a calibrated detachment from strict realism, Gennari combines intellectual rigor with interpretive insight and a probing exploration of her own limits—from the realism of her vocal expression to a physical presence that is both forceful and elegantly controlled.
Linda Gennari emerges as an artist of rare maturity, yet still capable of evolving with even greater creative versatility.
