Beskrivning
The volume reveals an astonishing richness in the theatrical approaches to Ibsen across the world: it considers political theatre, institutional ‘high art’, theatre for development, queer and transgender theatre, Brechtian techniques, puppetry, post-dramatic theatre, rural village performance and avant-garde touring companies. Investigating varied renegotiations of his drama, including the work of Thomas Ostermeier in Germany and other parts of the world, versions of A Doll’s House from Chile and China, The Wild Duck in Iran and productions of Peer Gynt in Zimbabwe and Egypt, Frode Helland provides a deeper understanding of a cross-cultural Ibsen. The volume gives an in-depth analysis of the practice of Ibsen in relation to political, social, ideological and economic forces within and outside of the performances themselves, and demonstrates the incredible diversity of his work in local situations.

Recensioner i media

An intricately layered exploration of the complex relational connections that contribute to the construction of a global “Ibsen” … Helland’s vivid and engaging prose is one of the volume’s greatest attributes, as his explanations of each production’s aesthetics are meticulously detailed, almost novelistic, in their style … Ibsen in Practice functions as a valuable text across disciplines, providing not only exacting explorations of Ibsen’s plays in performance around the globe, but also demonstrating the power of precision in analyzing the contextual influences at work in the transfer of canonical literature across cultures.
