Eleonora o della metamorfosi
abstract
Eleonora Duse relives here her loves, from her parents to Martino Cafiero, from Arrigo Boito to Gabriele d’Annunzio. Moreover, thanks to a special liking for letters she reads or recites, she reviews the different times of her career, from the thwarted beginnings to the triumphs and the fatigue of a stressful tournée and her uncertain health. This monologue is divided into seven stations, almost a secular way of the cross, where the contradictory personality of the actress emerges, torn between disgust and deep desire towards the stage.
