The singer
`How do you feel after the rehearsal? Does your new role make the change worth?
`Fully. It’s totally different to play this role of a young but extremely successful singer in a small theatre from being a young but successful singer and do gigs. It’s like parallel universes even if it doesn’t seem to be.
`People might think you don’t even have to do anything differently as this story is just about you…
`Yes and no. This makes them parallel but light-years away from one another.
`But you are rather familiar with being in the limelight and all the buzz, as far as I can remember your last few years.
`Ha-ha, Seven years is a looong time, you’re right, probably this is why I needed the change so much. Singing in that band with those beautiful people was a gift, a present from life. To sing everywhere, literally – on stages all over the world, from small clubs to massive festivals is something big. Really massive, you can’t just get away from it, it will be with me all my life. Like a heavy burden ha-ha.
`Exactly. You used to sing in front of thousands but now you’re playing for couple of hundreds. Isn’t it a heavy step backwards? A waste of your talent?
`You know the saying “Size is not important” …ha-ha-ha…What is important is the challenge. Those years I had the best kind of life someone could wish for. However, by the end I was dying.
`Nobody could notice you were having any kind of problem, you were blooming on stage moving the audience as you wanted: one moment dancing ecstatically then bursting into tears in the other.
`It was not only me but the whole production, you can see how the band make it with their new singer, actually, he is bloody talented. I’m really happy for them.
`So, is it your second life? Or you have further plans: telly, film, Hollywood?
`At the moment I’m really into this play, and acting in general, and not planning any further.
