| This portrait proceeds from the hypothesis that an actress should be studied as a distinct subject and that, in this sense, Giacinta Pezzana is representative because of her artistic choices and feminism, resting on friendship among women. In this article the author proposes a theoretical biography "in nuce", which identifies the contexts and the problematical issues of Pezzana's history, in the interweaving of the public and personal spheres, favouring the use of epistolary sources. Her lifetime witnessed the coexistence of the "Grande attore" tradition, issues of Naturalism, Duse's revolutionary art and industrial standardization. Pezzana stood out for her ethical sense and strong emphasis on expressivity, which disposed her to populist developments. Hence, her interest in popular and experimental theatre, renewable through linguistic and dramturgic inventions. This brings about a double identity as writer and actress and an original twofold repertoire: the warhorses - such as Zola's "Teresa Raquin" - and the "intellectual luxuries", such as "Serate Dantesche", where she appears as a precursor of one-woman-shows. | |
