New Solla stiff
"On the way to my first audition, for Kardimommubæinn, I say to my mother: "Oh, can't we just go home and do something else? But she inspires me to go because we were already halfway up the theater. I've often thought what would have happened if we had reversed this day, because it was like the beginning of my theatrical life. I played púðluhund in the exhibition, 11 years, "says the 16-year-old Melkorka Davíðsdóttir Pitt.
Melkorka plays Solla in the National Theatre in Lazytown next fall. Runes Freyr Gislason has directed it and Magnus Scheving is the creator of the work.
Melkorka was selected from among nearly two hundred talented girls who sought to get the role of Solla, the happy girl in Lazytown. For the second time the character is one of the best-known Icelandic children's role so there is a certain pressure to put up the wig.
"I'm stepping into a preconceived role that everyone knows very well and I 'm doing my best to understand the role well for me. Solla is a lively and fun girl who began to be stiff but now and currently sings in Lazytown. I watched a lot of Lazytown myself as a child and now my nine years old sister is a fan. I'm just not prepared to tell her the news. Think she will be pretty happy that her sister will Solla. "
Did not expect to get the role
Melkorka arranged an appointment with a journalist at a cafe downtown. Schoolbooks and Highlight pens are not far off because she is headed for the Icelandic test. Melkorka is studying in the first year of junior college, where she is adapting to college life.
"I was just reading a history test when Runar Freyr called me and said I had been selected . It made the test reading more fun but I never expected it to get the role. There were so many nice girls to apply. "
Melkorka lives in Skerjafirðinum with her parents, film producer Guðrúnu Eddu Þórhannesdóttur and architect David Pitt. She is the oldest of the siblings and has a sister Ísold who is nine years old and brother Hauskuld Thor who is one and a half years old. Melkorka has lived for a time in Britain, where she joined the British school with great discipline. She is Vesturbæingur now.
"I came from a small class in the country cottage school, I was just in nine grade, so there was a definite change coming into MR. There is so much to do and I really enjoy the fun. Has come into Herranótt [ theater MR ] and the price at the board next year (??), " says Melkorka who has practiced ballet for many years in the Icelandic Ballet School , which was where she was given her first trial.
Fascinating theater aroma
The theater has fascinated Melkorka for a long time who is not unknown to the film and has played in more roles than púðluhunds. She starred in Oliver Twist, The Wizard of Oz and most recently in the Promised Land at the National Theatre last year. She is not sure Theatre is chosen in the future , but the dream is to be able to go abroad to study .
"There 's something about the stage and the theater itself. There is a special theater aroma in the air that I love, atmosphere is exciting and you get to know wonderful people. "
Melkorka realizes that now she will be a model for young kids of all ages and is well prepared to take the responsibility.
"Runar Frey asked me if I have some inappropriate pictures of me on Facebook, but he don't have to worry. I checked the other day and it's still safe, " says Melkorka laughing , full of confidence for the coming times.
She does not worry about not being able to combine school and play next season in LazyTown.
" When it's get busy for you it's just better to organizing yourself and I thrive so. Summer goes most to the preparations for the play and I can not wait. This will be a fun adventure. "
