At first dreamy, then ambitious, then persistent, then thrilling and finally explosive. When you think about it, you can add many other qualities to this list that complement her profile, but a ballerina who jumps towards the dream, more than anything else, is neither less nor more than just a name - Klaudia Pepa.
For years she has built her career in Italy, with countless trials and tribulations to achieve her ambitions and realize her dreams. With confident steps, with absolute work and dedication, but also with extraordinary perseverance, Klaudia has managed to be part not only of many projects in the field of ballet alongside the most famous names in Italy, but also has carried a weight on her shoulders. serious professional and personal - to show where he came from, who he was and where he wanted to go. On the other hand, it has not been easy and remains the 'weight' of an entire nation to love you more when it reaches the top, especially outside Albania.
From the dance floor, Klaudia Pepa has been transferred to the set, where the emotions are different, with a new dimension less known to the Albanian artist. However, even though she has entered a seemingly unknown path, Claudia is very happy to have become part of Italian cinema. Not only for the history of the latter, but especially for the school it offers to anyone who is fortunate enough to be a part of it.
The passage from the ballet track to the cinema grounds, Claudia did not do by chance. Anyone who has realized how persistent she is knows full well that the ballerina never starts a journey without studying it well. He did the same for the film. As soon as she closed a series of ballet projects, Claudia began to study a new theme: a ballet-centric film. This would be her life role. The actress-ballerina or ballerina-actress, already had a new goal, for which, the road was not without challenges, even bigger.
Doubled, almost always in the middle of the road Albania - Italy, the sweet ballerina is always ready when there are invitations to be in the homeland. He lacks the language he does not speak every day, family, close friends and everything original Albanian (even pies), even though he has been living and working in the neighboring country for years now. But I know very well that artists, more than citizens of a country, are born to entertain and delight any nation and to make any kind of audience their own.
Currently, actress in a legal thriller "Reverse", which focuses on a very current topic. The role of Francesca, a hacker who comes to the aid of the police, has revealed to our ballerina a new world, for which it is always worth the sacrifice - no matter how costly. Because more than what it looks like on the outside, we tend to discover a new character by loving the emotional inside and big soul of an artist like Claudia.
For this long period of living on the set, in a not at all easy time for the whole world, in completely extraordinary circumstances, for her ballet, profession and great passion, but also for some other beautiful things, ca romantic dreams that have filled her heart recently, Klaudia Pepa comes in an exclusive story in Class magazine.
What made you make such a big transition, from ballet to the set?
Dream to make a ballet themed film. I started studying for this purpose.
"Reverse", a legal thriller, which includes a number of well-known names of Italian cinema, how did you become part of it?
Of course, like any production that creates auditions for relevant films, I also ran for some roles with the good will of managing to have some small experiences. I got the positive answer for the movie "Reverse" and for the role of Francesca.
What can Claudia find in Francesca, a 'hacker' who works for the police?
I discovered a whole new world by studying film and cinema. How our inner world and our lived experience behave in the set with different roles and characters. Francesca works for the police and manages in the film some processes of technology and listening, while the questionnaire is recorded between the killer and Giulia, the protagonist in this case.
Francesca is a cool character and I am not, but she is very determined and punctual in her work, which I also find in myself. No character will be the same as us, our character. Each time there is an adjustment. Each time is a new challenge.
What comes next after this project, will you continue with acting?
I am passionate and have found many elements in common with the experience as a ballerina and, surely, the project that will come will be a perfect interweaving between ballet and acting.
What is it like for you to be the protagonist of the clips, (" Voglio Stare Con Te " by Fabrizio Moro and " Loca " Aka7even)
For me, dreams remain realized. I would also add the experience of the video clip " Mon Amour " by Giulia ft. Samuel, also " Amante " by Getoar Selimi.
I am very dreamy, I was born that way and I believe that dreams keep me alive all the time. I am aware that the art of ballet is limited in opportunity and age, but passion keeps me awake and always makes me try new things as much as I can.
Video clips and collaborations are part of my career diversity. The latest project will be released in December, a collaboration with an Italian artist that is both highly regarded and much discussed.
What is the role of dreams, the one you would like to play in a movie?
Surely the role of a ballerina and then I would develop it with a "Lara Croft" :)
Even if they would propose to be part of an erotic movie or go out nude?
I am not a fan of such films and, for sure, I do not believe I will be a part of it in the future. Nude, it depends on the context, but I'm not complex.
What about the projects that connect with Albania, do we have any new plans?
I am creating a project that basically has ballet and contact with people, it's a surprise…
What do you miss most about Albania?
It is understandable that, in the first place, I miss my family, I miss speaking my language on a daily basis.
But I do not deny the fact that I miss the pie a lot, hahaha.
What is the most tempting offer made to you in Albania, but you refused not to return?
I have had many offers to be part of the jury of some TV shows, but I turned them down for the fact that I do not feel ready for this role yet. Surely in the future they will undoubtedly be part of my experiences.
Do you think of the final return to Tirana?
We artists are citizens of the world and want to travel with our art as much as possible.
Albania has the first place in my heart and, without a doubt, I am always ready to cooperate or come up with different projects.
What is your relationship with the fans you have on the network, but with the haters, how did you find the "language"?
There were some difficult moments where I was in the spotlight for the "haters", I decided to break the silence with the conviction that time heals everything.
For the part of the fans I feel very lucky, because they protect me when needed and are always there for me, give me strength and courage.
There have been news about news from private life, even headlines like "Klaudia Pepa is living a beautiful romance", how is their truth?
Sure there is a story, but I prefer it to be private.
The famous birthday covered all over with roses, had a special character behind her (the one who took the pictures)?
It was a romantic dream, something very special.
How do you cope with your diet, adhere to a strict diet or exercise to stay in shape?
I have never dieted, to be honest. I prefer to eat healthy and exercise at the same time. It would do anyone good, I think.
What is your secret to being happy?
Happiness for me is sharing. I feel happy when I share hugs, kisses, sweet words, good manners and positivity.
What is the biggest pledge you have left from Albania?
To dance with my sister. Pamela is a mezzo soprano singer and is still studying at the University of Arts in Tirana. Most likely it will happen in the future, it is one of my dreams to get involved in a project with my sister.
A jump with Pamela seems the simplest thing that could happen in the future. Even a Lara Croft is not impossible. In our eyes, at least, but beyond this project that, most likely, will soon bring the Pepa sisters together, hides another leap for Klaudian. He who always accompanies him whenever he touches success. He who goes through all the genres of dance challenges every paddock, which raises him to the sky and lowers him back to the ground reminding him that you can only go up there if your feet are firmly fixed down.
Shhhhh, another jump is a surprise. Towards the biggest dream.
