Sawsan Badr: What I fear most is illness and loss of passion

Actress Sawsan Badr revealed that the thing she fears most now is illness, noting that she does not fear death and wishes for continued health from God, and she also fears losing passion in her life.

Sawsan Badr and her experience with young people “I am keen to maintain my natural acting instinct despite the great experience I have gained over the years, and to participate with young people in their cinematic experiences and graduation projects in very short films that have a beginning, middle and end, music, an idea, and all the details. It is necessary for the actor to interact with young people and the technological development in which they live, their ideas and ambitions. I learn a lot from them, and I coordinate my appointments with them because I am keen to be among them,” said Sawsan Badr during a symposium honoring her at the VS-FILM Festival for Very Short Films.

Badr added: “Very short films are very difficult, and I remember that I made a 5-minute film about a woman’s relationship with a bird, and it was one of my most important experiences.”

Sawsan Badr's opinion on the state of theatre today Regarding the theater and her opinion of its current situation, Sawsan Badr said: “I hope that the theater will return to its flourishing era as it was 10 years ago because it is the father of the arts, and whoever undertakes to implement and produce a theatrical work currently is an adventurer who loves challenges. I do not know the reason for the decline, but certainly the era of technology, mobile phones, and social platforms has contributed to this decline in one way or another.”

The role of the late Raja Al-Geddawy in the life of Sawsan Badr During the symposium, Sawsan Badr talked about the role of the late artist Raja Al-Jeddawi in her life, as she confirmed the latter’s support for her, and that she learned a lot from her, especially elegance and how to appear.
