Henrik Ibsen

Casa de muñecas, una de las obras más intemporales de Ibsen, narra el drama de Nora, una mujer ardiente y alegre que ante la incomprensión de su marido se encierra en sí misma, llegando a abandonar su hogar para convertirse en un ser consciente de su destino. La obra desató vivas polémicas en su época y fue juzgada como una toma de posición en favor de las ideas feministas. La dama del mar pertenece a la última época de la producción ibseniana, en la que cobra relieve la dimensión misteriosa de la realidad.

Publicada en 1882, "Un enemigo del pueblo" no hace más que refrendar la actualidad de Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), uno de los fundadores indiscutibles del teatro moderno. Autor de sólidas convicciones éticas, rebelde al corse de las tradiciones, las convenciones y las imposiciones sociales, "politicamente incorrecto" en su dia igual que hoy, la obra toca el delicado punto de la autentica representatividad de la democracia, sujeta en el mundo real a las presiones de los intereses politicos y economicos y de los variados instrumentos de que se sirven para perpetuar un poder que puede mudar su apariencia, pero que es siempre el mismo.Prologo de Juan Antonio Garrido Ardila

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) nació en Noruega, en un medio en el que imperaba una moral estrecha de miras, una vigencia desesperante de la superstición y del miedo. Todo a su alrededor era considerado pecado, todo merecia un reproche, una advertencia sobre el posible mal que podria acarrear cualquier accion que se emprendiera. Por eso sus personajes no se contentan con vivir la vida cotidiana, necesitan un proyecto que realizar aunque este sobrepase sus fuerzas y les haga sentirse solos, incomprendidos e incluso derrotados, pero orgullosos por haberse aventurado a conseguirlo.En "Casa de muñecas" y "El pato salvaje" plantea Ibsen la tragedia de la mentira vital. Nora Helmer, en "Casa de muñecas", es una joven que ha sido educada para llevar una venda en los ojos y servir de juguete primero a su padre y luego a su marido. Cuando la venda cae, Nora comienza a ser "alguien". Gregorio Werle, en "El pato salvaje", concibe un proyecto para poner al descubierto a unos seres hipocritas, egoistas e indignos, aunque entre ellos se encuentre su propio padre.

Las raíces directas del teatro actual se encuentran en la obra de Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906), quien no sólo puso los cimientos de la escena moderna, sino que dio expresión a muchos de los problemas del mundo contemporaneo. Uno de los temas que estan presentes a lo largo de todo su teatro -la mujer como ser capaz de elegir libremente- llega a su cima en la Nora de "Casa de muñecas" (1879) y en la protagonista de "Hedda Gabler" (1890). Si la primera obra fue causa de uno de los mayores escandalos en la historia del teatro occidental, la segunda ofrece el retrato de una compleja psicologia femenina encarnada en su protagonista, una mujer capaz de sacrificar todo en aras de su independencia.Prologo de Alberto Adell

The winter of 1879-80 Ibsen spent in Munich, and the greater part of the summer of 1880 at Berchtesgaden. November 1880 saw him back in Rome, and he passed the summer of 1881 at Sorrento. There, fourteen years earlier, he had written the last acts of Peer Gynt; there he now wrote, or at any rate completed, Gengangere. It was published in December 1881, after he had returned to Rome. On December 22 he wrote to Ludwig Passarge, one of his German translators, "My new play has now appeared, and has occasioned a terrible uproar in the Scandinavian press; every day I receive letters and newspaper articles decrying or praising it.... I consider it utterly impossible that any German theatre will accept the play at present. I hardly believe that they will dare to play it in the Scandinavian countries for some time to come." How rightly he judged we shall see anon.

"He wrote When We Dead Awaken," says Dr. Elias, "with such labour and such passionate agitation, so spasmodically and so feverishly, that those around him were almost alarmed. He must get on with it, he must get on! He seemed to hear the beating of dark pinions over his head. He seemed to feel the grim Visitant, who had accompanied Alfred Allmers on the mountain paths, already standing behind him with uplifted hand. His relatives are firmly convinced that he knew quite clearly that this would be his last play, that he was to write no more. And soon the blow fell."

A Dolls House : a play by Henrik Ibsen - (Danish and Bokml: Et dukkehjem; also translated as A Doll House) is a three-act play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 21 December 1879, having been published earlier that month. The play is set in a Norwegian town circa 1879.The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman, who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self-fulfillment in a male-dominated world, despite the fact that Ibsen denied it was his intent to write a feminist play. It aroused a great sensation at the time, and caused a "storm of outraged controversy" that went beyond the theatre to the world of newspapers and society.In 2006, the centennial of Ibsens death, A Dolls House held the distinction of being the worlds most performed play that year. UNESCO has inscribed Ibsens autographed manuscripts of A Dolls House on the Memory of the World Register in 2001, in recognition of their historical value.The title of the play is most commonly translated as A Dolls House, though some scholars use A Doll House. John Simon says that A Dolls House is "the British term for what [Americans] call a dollhouse". Egil Tornqvist says of the alternative title: "Rather than being superior to the traditional rendering, it simply sounds more idiomatic to Americans."

"When We Dead Awaken" is the final play of Henrik Ibsen, encapsulating his profound exploration of existential themes and the human condition. Written in 1899, this poignant work employs a symbolist style, blending realism with allegorical elements to investigate the complexities of identity, art, and the inevitability of mortality. Centered around the encounter between a sculptor and the women in his life, Ibsen crafts a narrative steeped in metaphysical inquiry, prompting readers to reflect upon the nature of awakening and the consequences of creative endeavor in a world fraught with societal constraints. Henrik Ibsen, often hailed as the father of modern drama, drew from his own experiences and societal observations when crafting his plays. His struggles with personal identity and the moral dilemmas of artistic expression in a rapidly changing world profoundly influenced his later works. Ibsens own conflicts with societal expectations and his longing for authenticity resonate through the characters and themes of "When We Dead Awaken," reflecting a culmination of his philosophical and artistic journey. This remarkable play is highly recommended for those exploring the intersections of art, identity, and mortality. Ibsens rich characterizations and thought-provoking dialogue make it a must-read for scholars and enthusiasts of modern literature alike, inviting readers to confront their own awakenings as they navigate the intricacies of life.
