Roberto Bolle

Il fisico risente dello stress che subisce il corpo e anche di quello psicologico. E' naturale che il pubblico e la compagnia che aspettano l'artista ospite abbiano gli occhi puntati su di lui e si aspettino la grande performance. Bisogna stringere i denti e mascherare qualsiasi problema fisico. Non si può sbagliare.
