"The Duse and Us"
A plural portrait of an artist

Through the voices of those who knew and loved Duse, the show paints a vivid and dynamic picture of a woman always projecting towards the future.
The performance promises to explore the multiple dimensions of Duse, highlighting her restlessness, determination, and fragile creative strength.
This representation intends not only to pay homage to the great Italian actress but also to contaminate the contemporary gaze with her pure creative energy.

Dramaturgy by Sonia Bergamasco and Marianna Zannoni through a selection of the most beautiful letters preserved in the Eleonora Duse archive at the Institute for Theater and Melodrama of the Giorgio Cini Foundation in Venice
