"I have a very kind and lovely friend. She will turn 25 in two weeks. A week ago, she was diagnosed with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma. Yesterday she had an operation to remove a lung lobe. She sent me four words,' Good morning, it hurts." During the salon event of the China Shanghai International Arts Festival student theater viewing group, a girl stood up and confided to Swiss actress Usna Ratti, "I feel like crying in front of her. I am very hypocritical because I will never be able to empathize with her pain. Teacher, can you say something to her?”

From November 8th to 10th, Usna Lati presented “Every Woman” at Young Theater China. Premiere, this is a play about a cancer patient. Facing the reality of the disease, Usna Lati encouraged the girl, "I really hope you are with the people you love, they love you, you are not alone, don't lose hope, you will never be alone."

"Every Woman" produced by Germany's Schaubühne Theater and co-written by director Milo Rau and Usna Rati, is created with a small and intimate narrative A "tender moment" in a dramatic setting. In the play, a successful actress meets a woman suffering from cancer whose last wish is to perform for the last time.

At the beginning of the production of "Every Woman", the crew visited a hospice and talked with people who were dying. "We met Helga Bedow. She has been suffering from pancreatic cancer for three months, which has exceeded the original estimate." "We asked her if she would like to participate in our production."

Usna Rati is the screenwriter and star of "Every Woman", and Helga Bedau participated via video. The big screen on the stage preserved her last image and performance. "She is very ordinary, but like everyone, she is unique. When watching the play, you will notice this and fall in love with her."

"Every Woman" premieres in China at young theater

"Every Woman" "Women" uses a narrative technique that combines fiction and reality. Sometimes the audience can't help but laugh, and sometimes they are thinking. For example, the following dialogue that took place on the stage -

Usna Rati: Look, this is the "Romeo and Romeo" you participated in Juliet" program book.

Helga Bedao: It’s so funny, I laughed when I saw the death scene. The director said: "If you laugh again, you will stop acting."

Usna Rati: Will your family be proud to see you performing on stage like this?

Helga Bedao: My mother said: "My daughter, she is going to Hollywood soon."

Usna Lati: What do you think of this place now?

Helga Bedao: has a very different feeling. Especially because I don't know if I'll be alive or not when it premieres.

In 2012, Usna Rati became a member of the Schaubühne Theater. She has starred in the Cannes Film Festival Palme d'Or films "The White Ribbon" and " "Girl Luohe", "The Nameless Day", etc. Recalling "The White Ribbon", she told the Chinese audience, "This is my first blockbuster movie. The director is very talented and the other actors are all stars. No one knows me, I can hardly act, I am very stiff."

《 A small scene in "The White Ribbon" was shot nearly 20 times by Usna Rati. "It was simply hell. It was shot repeatedly all day long. I panicked, will the director kick me out of the set? The next round When I was shooting the big scene, I couldn't sleep all night. Finally I said, OK, I'll try it, and we did it once, and suddenly I wasn't afraid anymore. In "White Ribbon," I learned to overcome my fear. Inspired by my acting skills. After filming "White Ribbon", I am no longer afraid, whether on stage or in front of the camera. "

No matter which country they are in, actors face fierce competition and are selected or eliminated. Usna Rati told her Chinese counterpart, “Even if you play a small role, if you are really good at it, you will be seen. This is my experience.Small roles can be very successful if you put your heart and soul into them. Relaxation is important. Besides acting, there are other important things in life. "

Usna Rati was surrounded by enthusiastic audiences

What should I do if the actor is not in good condition and the performance is imminent? Usna Rati replied, "No matter what state I am in, it is possible to really perform, no Need to pretend to be doing well. The show starts in 10 minutes and I've learned to accept all emotions as part of who I am. Something unexpected happened and I was in a bad mood, but I still had to perform and accept my current mood, that's how I felt. "

As an amphibious actor, Usna Rati bluntly said that she is much more picky when choosing stage roles. "Stage roles have been with me for many years. I may play a drama and a good role for 10 or 12 years. More than a hundred games. Acting in a movie pays much more and only takes five, six or eight weeks to complete. If I don't want to see the finished product, I don't even have to go to the cinema. I was very aware of the impact that theater had on my life, that there had to be a good role, and most importantly who I was doing it with, who was my colleague, who was directing the play. There is no hierarchy in theater writing, that's the way I like to work, I'm a partner, I'm the director's partner. "

The "Every Woman" tour allowed Usna Rati to travel around the world, "from Brazil to India, from Moscow to Spain. I've been everywhere and every place is different. In most European countries I go to, I start "Every Woman" from the language of that country. We started the first part of Every Woman in France, in Spanish in Spain, and in Italian in Italy. I'm always a little nervous about being in a country where I don't have the language, but it's still interesting, and it's also related to the story of my partner, Miss Hejal Bedau, who unfortunately has passed away.”
