The course aims to provide solid historical, methodological and critical instruments to evaluate the complex and pioneering research work that led Gerardo Guerrieri (1920-1986) to know in depth the figure and the art of Eleonora Duse. Moreover, there is the acquisition of knowledge on the retrieval, the analysis and the exploitation of theatrical archival documents, as well as on the translation strategies and their performing results.

Specialized Course: Eleonora Duse (and Chekhov) in the vision of Gerardo Guerrieri.

Evaluation of the importance of the pioneering research work that led Gerardo Guerrieri (1920-1986) to know in depth the figure and the art of Eleonora Duse, becoming one of the leading international experts. Analyses of the various phases of his multi-year course of study, with a focus on his research at the Vittoriale and its smart exploitation through publications, documentary exhibitions and events. Re-consideration of a little-known aspect in the artistic career of the great actress: her interest in the Chekhovian dramaturgy (especially 'The Seagull'), which was translated by Guerrieri with a special intensity.
