My Acting Journey
It all begins with my family. I was my uncle, John Maucere's, little shadow. I absorbed every detail as I stood backstage, watching his extraordinary acting journey unfold. At home, I began creating and editing my own videos, and it was the start of a lifelong passion. My parents decided to put me in the performance troupe "Vibrations" at a deaf school, which was an exceptional experience where I absorbed everything, but was more of an observer.
A detour into ASL linguistics kept me busy for several years. When the world slowed down during the pandemic, my childhood passion came knocking. I answered, reignited, and went back to acting. I'm outside my cocoon because some flames never go out!
LOS ANGELES PHILHARMONIC’S FIDELIO REVIEWS
“Giovanni Maucere’s fantastically villainous portrayal of Pizarro was something to see.”
— Gramophone, Robert Thicknesse
“Shenyang’s dark voice was perfect for Pizarro’s black personality… his partner in crime, signer Giovanni Maucere, was hardly less menacing.”
— Opera Today, Laurence Vittes
“Deaf West Theatre actors brought hightened drama and some humour to their roles.”
