I VESPRI/ Giovanni Insaudo, "DIVA" (Italy)

"Diva" is the latest work by Giovanni Insaudo, exploring the timeless figure of the Diva and her idealization in popular culture. The piece is primarily inspired by the ultimate diva, Marilyn Monroe, offering a glimpse into the private and often solitary lives of these icons of 1950s fame.

The performance seeks to unveil the introverted reality behind the glamour, media attention, and public idealization, highlighting the contrast between what the audience sees and what these divas truly experience. It sheds light on the often negative influence of powerful male figures in their lives.

In the 1950s, divas were frequently subject to the control and influence of powerful men who could shape their careers and personal destinies. These men-producers, directors, managers, husbands, or lovers-played a significant role in deciding the divas' paths. Often, divas were forced to conform to male expectations, limiting their autonomy and stifling their creative potential.
