Today we have two actors, Primo and Clarissa, from The Cadet of Tildor book trailer with us for an interview! =D
I know Clarissa’s character often wins in your other videos. Was it fun to reverse for a while when taping CADET?
PRIMO: Oh yes, she gets finally beaten! Now seriously, she really is tough, as I've seen in a three years thai boxe experience many men with slower learning process and less efficiency than hers. Never underestimate anybody, especially women!
Is the character you play in CADET’s trailer anything like you in real life?
CLARISSA: My character is not so different from me. When we met with the whole group to talk about this project Vasco said me “Nothing loving, gentle or girly. Don’t worry for the interpretation: Renee is quite as you are”.
I enjoyed playing Renee because she reflects a bit what I've tried to be in my real life. I've often had to compete with boys in groups where I was the only girl (of course I 've never ventured in very female activities) and I never accepted to be considered weaker (damned pride!!); so I felt this role quite close to my person.
I haven’t played many characters before. In another film we taped I played a warrior, an antagonist who fights with a dagger ; inasmuch woman, she had to be fast ,whippy and lethal, but she didn’t has a delineated personality since she was a sort of ghost. Renee instead is a determinate girl who has to challenge prejudices and needs to learn and grow.
Clarissa, are you the only girl in Liberi Lusenta?
CLARISSA:When we founded the group Liberi Lusenta I was the only girl but it has never been a problem. Obviously it’s always fascinating seeing a choreography where the disadvantaged one wins. Many girls practice combat sports, even if not in medieval field. Currently we have 2 other women with us, Giulia and Elisabeth, who can fight as much as men.
Fighting with a boy represents a challenge, of course, because you have a stronger and heavier adversary. It obligate you to develop other skills as speed and precision. One of the advantages are that some guys say "I don't beat girls up" ...I think: so much worser for them!
Thank you Primo and Clarissa for taking some time to be here and answering our questions! =)

struggles to keep up with her male peers. But when her mentor, a notorious
commander recalled from active duty to teach at the Academy, is kidnapped to
