So Giuseppe is obviously from Switzerland, but has a Portugese Mum and an Italian Dad,
and he speaks both languages - and in addition the Swizerland dialect of German (both,
the interviewer and Guiseppe do that in the interview). In addition he speaks English, French
and a bit of Spanish, as he had been taking part in quite some international Ballet competitions
arond the world already! But he was living in Switzerland and training ballet at the AS Ballet
School in the capital of Switzerland, Bern, when he was discovered by the BETM team and
invited for auditioning in New York for Billy Elliot. In the interview he tells that his dreams
about his future had been before to start one day as a ballet dancer at the Paris Opera -
or maybe in Hollywood (giggling about the latter), but that he was - at the time of the interview -
looking forward now to audition successfully for Billy - and if so, live in the USA for about two
years or so incl. the whole process of the training for the role.
