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.
