    No full text
    In 1969 the Italian Radio-Television Broadcasting- RAI produced the screenplay, Eleonora Duse. Notes for a biography. G. Loverso and C. Serino were the author of the script, directed by F. Bollini (1924-78). Having analyzed the screenplay, we are able to un- derstand how the myth of E. Duse was structured. The analysis also explains why she became famous among the television audience of the second half of the 20th century. The screenplay sparked considera- ble debate and contrasting reactions, especially based on the interpretation of the actress in the role of Duse, L. Brignone (1913-84). Many admirers wrote to Brignone about her interpretation of the great tragedienne. The actress and writer E. De Giorgi (1914-97) sent Brignone her study on E. Duse, that allows us to focus on some distinctive features of Duse’s acting, dividing the actress from the myth

    Nel 1969 la RAI produce lo sceneggiato Eleonora Duse. Appunti per una biografia, scritto da Gilberto Loverso e Chiara Serino e diretto da Flaminio Bollini. Il documento audiovisivo consente di comprendere in che modo il mito di Eleonora Duse si delineò fin dagli esordi e come esso venne presentato al pubblico televisivo del secondo Novecento. Lo sceneggiato suscitò un vivo dibattito e reazioni contrastanti, soprattutto grazie all’interpretazione di Lilla Brignone (1913-1984) nel ruolo della Divina. Molti ammiratori scrissero alla Brignone per commentarne l’interpretazione, tra questi troviamo l’attrice e scrittrice Elsa De Giorgi (1914-1997), che inviò a Brignone un suo studio in cui sono evidenziati alcuni tratti distintivi della recitazione della Duse, scindendone la figura attorica dal mito divistico.In 1969 the Italian Radio-Television BroadcastingRAI produced the screenplay, Eleonora Duse.

    Author and Authority. John Gielgud's Prospero in Peter Greenway's "Prospero's Books"

    In 1991, film director Peter Greenaway turned William Shakespeare’s "The Tempest" into an experimental and visually daring film called "Prospero’s Books", starring John Gielgud as Prospero. Shot on 35mm film and edited making extensive use of electronic image processing, "Prospero’s Books" is a technologically advanced phantasmagoria that reveals the multiple aspects of Shakespeare's meta-masque. In the film, Gielgud voices all the characters, thus turning "The Tempest" into a creative act that unravels inside Prospero’s own mind. This way, "Prospero’s Books" questions the roles of the author, the actor and the director, taking "The Tempest" as a pre-text to a meta-linguistic meditation

Ritratto di Eleonora Duse, che da alcuni anni interpreta con successo in teatro. Dalla giovanile attrazione istintiva verso il “personaggio Duse” alla comprensione matura del valore delle sue innovazioni nel campo della recitazione. Confronti, eredità, insegnamenti: due epoche diverse, ma lo stesso impegno totalizzante verso il teatro.One of the most important actresses of the Italian theatre, Pamela Villoresi, talks about her relationship with Eleonora Duse.
