FILM & LECTURE

Description

The legendary career of Eleonora Duse seems to be coming to an end, but in the turbulent times between the First World War and the rise of fascism, the 'Divina' feels a call that is stronger than any resignation, and returns to where her life began: the stage. It is not only the call of the theater that drives her, but a deep urgency: the need to assert herself in a world that is changing relentlessly and threatens to take everything from her, including the independence she has fought for throughout her life. Unexpected financial setbacks force her to make a decision, and so Eleonora again chooses the theater as the only place of truth and resistance. With her art as her only weapon, she defies time and disillusionment, transforming every word and gesture into a revolutionary act. But the price of beauty in the face of the brutality of power and history is high: her loved ones seem to distance themselves from her, and her health deteriorates. Nevertheless, Eleonora will face her final journey, proving that one can give up life itself, but never one's true self. After the screening, an aperitif with snacks will be served.
