The Festival of Beauty returns on August 1, 2024 with an unmissable event that will take place at the enchanting setting of the Vittoriale degli Italiani. At 9:00 pm, the actress and playwright Sonia Bergamasco will present “La Duse e noi. Ritratto plurale di un’artista” (The Duse and us. A plural portrait of an artist), a performance dedicated to the legendary figure of Eleonora Duse.
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, Bergamasco will offer a multifaceted portrait of the artist. The performance promises to explore the multiple dimensions of Duse, highlighting her restlessness, determination, and fragile creative strength.
The work “La Duse e noi” is the result of collaboration between Sonia Bergamasco and Marianna Zannoni. 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. 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.
For those who wish to attend this unique event, tickets are available on Ticketone and Verona Box Office. Do not miss the opportunity to participate in an evening that celebrates theatrical art through one of its most iconic characters.
