🎙️ Today, we’re thrilled to introduce the first star of the Ukrainian Dictionary of Emotions podcast—renowned American actress Alessandra Torresani. She will be lending her voice to How to Talk to the Dead, a poignant work by Ukrainian playwright Anastasiia Kosodii.
👉 Alessandra Torresani’s career began at the tender age of 10, and she has since gained widespread recognition for her roles as Zoe Graystone in the sci-fi series Caprica and Claire in The Big Bang Theory. With over 45 films and TV series under her belt, she’s also co-produced The Pinhole Effect, further cementing her standing in the industry. In 2019, Alessandra launched her own mental health podcast, Emotional Support, where she addresses crucial topics related to emotional well-being—reflecting her deep commitment to supporting others through life’s emotional and mental challenges.
👉 When we approached Alessandra to participate in this podcast supporting Ukraine, she didn’t hesitate. Her reading of Anastasiia Kosodii's How to Talk to the Dead promises to bring a powerful new dimension to this deeply emotional piece.
👉 Kosodii’s work delves into the brutal realities of war, capturing not only the events but the profound emotional landscapes of pain, loss, and hope that accompany them. This piece demands a sensitive and nuanced interpretation, and Alessandra’s involvement feels like a perfect fit. Her voice will not only highlight the importance of the text but also underscore its universal themes—ones that transcend borders, resonating with audiences regardless of nationality or culture.
👉 In these trying times, it is crucial for Ukrainian voices and experiences to be heard globally. Through Alessandra’s performance in this episode, listeners in the West will gain a deeper understanding of the emotional truths that Ukrainians are living through daily.
💙💛 Our project also serves as a form of cultural diplomacy, promoting contemporary Ukrainian drama across the globe. We are confident that with the participation of exceptional talents like Alessandra Torresani, our authors’ works will find new audiences worldwide.
