A hundred years after the death of Eleonora Duse, Sonia Bergamasco takes us on an investigation into the actress who changed the acting profession forever, inspiring Lee Strasberg, the historic director of the Actors Studio, and generations of actors. How can a woman of whom only a silent film and a few photos and portraits remain, still be so influential? The Divina beyond the myth.
