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.

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

La acción de Casa de muñecas (1879) tiene como protagonista a Nora, una mujer que simula estúpida frivolidad pero que en verdad es inteligente y aguda. Nora se vio forzada años atrás a recurrir a una artimaña financiera para costear un viaje en salvaguarda de la salud de Helmer, su marido, al tiempo que su padre se hallaba moribundo. A medida que la tension del conflicto va in crescendo, la monotonia burguesa de la protagonista se va convirtiendo en un nudo corredizo que va dejandola sin aire. Ante su impotencia, observa la imposicion de todo un mundo de valores contradictorios que amenazan su idea de felicidad. Teatro de ideas, pero intensamente dramatico, la obra del noruego Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) ha influido profundamente en la evolucion de fa escena europea contemporanea.

The Master Builder Henrik Ibsen - First performed in 1892, this psychological drama is one of the great Norwegian playwrights most symbolic and lyrical works.

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.

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.
