Henrik Ibsen

Bajo la apariencia de un matrimonio ideal en el que todo acontece según lo convenido por la sociedad, se esconden los anhelos de realización de Nora, la protagonista, de dejar de vivir como una muñeca en esa casa de mentira que, entre todos, han construido para ella. Un alegato a favor de la libertad de las mujeres y en contra de la hipocresia y los roles impuestos en las aparentemente perfectas familias burguesas.

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.

Casa de nines és sens dubte l'obra més traduïda d'Ibsen, la més representada i la més discutida. Nora, la protagonista del drama, abandona el domicili familiar perquè el seu marit no és la persona qu

Una gran denuncia sobre la corrupción del poder y la manipulación informativa Considerado el más importante dramaturgo noruego y uno de los autores que más ha influido en el teatro contemporáneo, Henrik Ibsen firmo quiza con Un enemigo del pueblo su obra mas controvertida. Su protagonista, el Doctor Stockmann, denuncia que las aguas del balneario, principal fuente de ingresos del pueblo, estan corrompidas y son un peligro para la salud. Las fuerzas sociales del pueblo tratan de ocultarlo y el se queda solo en su denuncia, pues la verdad es incomoda para mucha gente. Mas alla de lo anecdotico de la trama, lo interesante y que sigue suscitando polemica es la tesis de que el enemigo mas peligroso de la razon y de la libertad es la opinion de la mayoria. Para Ibsen la mayoria no siempre tiene la razon, muy al contrario, nunca la tiene, es la minoria la que la posee, pues la mayoria tiene la fuerza, pero no tiene la razon, porque ¿quienes son la mayoria en el sufragio? ¿Los estupidos o los inteligentes?. Sin embargo, ¿Que importa que tengas la razon si no tienes el poder?, le contesta a su marido la señora Stockmann. Una obra inmortal sobre la corrupcion del poder y la manipulacion de los medios informativos al servicio de ese mismo poder, por fin en su version original, sin adaptaciones, tal como la escribio Ibsen.

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

Ghosts by Henrik Ibsen Ghosts (Danish: Gengangere) is a play by the Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. It was written in 1881 and first staged in 1882 in Chicago, Illinois, in a production by a Danish company on tour.Like many of Ibsens plays, Ghosts is a scathing commentary on 19th-century morality. Because of its subject matter, which includes religion, venereal disease, incest, and euthanasia, it immediately generated strong controversy and negative criticism. Since then the play has fared better, and is considered a great play that historically holds a position of immense importance.Theater critic Maurice Valency wrote in 1963, "From the standpoint of modern tragedy Ghosts strikes off in a new direction.... Regular tragedy dealt mainly with the unhappy consequences of breaking the moral code. Ghosts, on the contrary, deals with the consequences of not breaking it."Helen Alving is about to dedicate an orphanage she has built in memory of her late husband. Despite his affairs, Mrs. Alving stayed with him to protect her son Oswald from the taint of scandal and for fear of being shunned by the community.

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.

An Enemy of the People - Henrik Ibsen - First performed in 1882, Henrik Ibsens An Enemy of the People is the story of the animosity that can befall someone whose actions, while in the best interest of the public good, threaten the economic well being of a community. The story begins during an evening of entertaining at the household of Dr. Stockmann, the titular enemy of the people. When the mayor of the town, Dr. Stockmanns brother Peter, and the editor of the town newspaper, Hovstad, come to Dr. Stockmanns home, he is confronted over the rumors that the water of the town baths may be contaminated. The two brothers argue over the morality of concealing or falsely shaping the narrative in regards to the problem. When a letter arrives confirming the contamination, Dr. Stockmann convinces Hovstad that he must publish the report, which sets into motion a great conflict amongst the townspeople over the financial cost of dealing with the contamination. In this tensely dramatic work we find Ibsen at his best in addressing the economic consequences of doing the right thing. This edition follows the translation of R. Farquharson Sharp, includes an introduction by Otto Heller, and a biographical afterword.

Ghosts Henrik Ibsen - "Ghosts" is a drama in three acts by Henrik Ibsen, published in 1881 in Norwegian asGengangereand performed the following year.

Scandalous in its day for its frank discussion of venereal disease and marriage infidelity, "Ghosts" remains to this day an intense psychological drama and sharp social criticism
