‘Diva’ is the new show by Giovanni Insaudo, which explores the timeless figure of the Diva and its idealisation in popular culture. The play is mainly inspired by the diva par excellence, Marilyn Monroe, and offers a glimpse into the private and often lonely lives of these icons of fame from the 1950s.

The play attempts to unveil the introverted reality behind the glamour, media attention and public idealisation by highlighting the contrast between what the public sees and what the divas actually experienced, and by highlighting the often negative influence of male figures in their lives.


In the era of the 1950s, divas were often subject to the control and influence of powerful men who could shape their careers and personal destinies. These men, whether producers, directors, managers or even husbands and lovers, played a significant role in deciding the path of the divas. Many times, the divas were forced to conform to male expectations, limiting their autonomy and stifling their creative potential.
