Eleonora Duse, 1858 - 1924, was among the greatest actress of her time. She performed in many countries, most notably in plays by Gabriele D’Annunzio and Henrik Ibsen. “Duse” will look at the latter part of her life when she is 60 “and her legendary career is now long over. But in the brutal years between the First World War and the rise of fascism, the Divina chooses to return to where her life began: on the stage. Constantly struggling with the brutality of events and power, and clinging to the possibility of utopia, she makes her art a revolutionary act, even at the cost of sacrificing health and affection. And she faces her final journey aware that she can renounce to life itself, but not to her own true nature.
