Versatile Actress Explores Mental Health, Sense of Home and Feminism in Her Art

"The only thing that really stayed constant in my life was my passion for the stage. My mom said that before I was born I used to kick to the beat of the music they were listening to. I don't know if that's true, but I like to believe it is. I struggle a lot with my identity because wherever I am it feels like I am a little different than everyone. In New York, well it is also the same, except that there is no one kind of people to adjust to. You are not really supposed to feel like you are from anywhere in particular. I wouldn’t necessarily say that New York feels like home or that I am settled here, but it feels like I can be myself comfortably. " - Giorgia Valenti

“The Purgatory Trial of Vito Marcantonio”: A Play on the Progressive Politician

The play opens on August 9th, 1954, the day of Marcantonio’s death. Though a Catholic, Marcantonio was denied a Catholic burial by New York’s extreme right-wing Cardinal Spellman, and thus the action of the play centers around an imagined plea by Marcantonio to be released from purgatory — the repository of souls that God assigned neither to heaven nor hell — and be allowed to ascend into heaven
