The course aims to provide students with the tools for both historical and theoretical knowledge of the artistic, material, social and relational aspects of theatre, also understood in the broader sense of the performative dimensions of human behaviour. The central objective is a broad and documented knowledge of the present and the past of the performing arts, oriented to enable the student to activate research processes, reconnaissance initiatives and practical organisation in the creative sphere of the performing arts. The first part of the course consists of the study of texts, phenomena, profiles and processes that in the 20th century have expanded the notion of theatre and transformed traditions, crafts, values, concepts and terms of theatre-making. In the final part, documentary materials on contemporary theatre are shared and meetings are organised to orientate the student in the contemporary practices of his/her cultural context.

Programme
The course focuses on the transition between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, particularly following the thread of Eleonora Duse. The theatre of this period is a theatre undergoing great changes. The passage from the period of the Great Actor to that of the New Theatre has always been seen as a drastic caesura. The course investigates the threads of continuity and the peculiarities of Eleonora Duse's art and life.Core Documentation
