Casa de muñecas es, sin duda, uno de los dramas más importantes de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, y nos muestra el conflicto que existe entre el individuo y la sociedad, y las consecuencias que este puede sufrir si no se ciñe a las normas. Siendo una mujer la protagonista, esto propicio en su epoca los mas ardientes debates en torno al rol de la mujer en el hogar; sin embargo el mismo Ibsen dijo que escribio la obra pensando en el derecho que tienen todas las personas a vivir su vida como quieran. Mas alla de eso, es una obra de una lirica prodigiosa y una puesta en escena vislumbrante, que define el estilo teatral de Ibsen, en el cual el ser humano enfrenta su propia conciencia y su destino en medio de una atmosfera opresiva y angustiante.

Mrs Alving is preparing for the opening of an orphanage, built in memory of her late husband. Her beloved artist son Oswald has returned from Paris to honour the occasion.

Nora vive con su esposo, Torvaldo Helmer, y sus tres hijos felizmente sin ninguna preocupación. Además, Trovaldo asumirá en el año nuevo el puesto de director de un banco. Todo parece perfecto, pero Nora guarda un profundo secreto que le confiesa su amiga Linde. Años atras, su esposo estaba a punto de morir, necesitaba cambiar de clima, pero les era economicamente imposible pagar un viaje. En ese entonces, Nora le hizo creer a Torvaldo, quien ignoraba su propia enfermedad, que su agonizante padre les habia dado el dinero, pero en realidad, lo habia tomado prestado de Krogstad, el procurador, falsificando la firma de su padre muerto. Este es el comienzo de un intenso drama que refleja el rol de la mujer en la sociedad de ese entonces, trata temas como el honor, el chantaje, el amor, la realizacion individual, y provee una fuerte critica a las normas matrimoniales del siglo XIX.

Bernick: We cannot work that way now-a-days. You must not imagine, Aune, that it is for the sake of making profit; I do not need that, fortunately; but I owe consideration to the community I live in, and to the business I am at the head of. I must take the lead in progress, or there would never be any.Aune: I welcome progress too, Mr. Bernick.Bernick: Yes, for your own limited circle--for the working class. Oh, I know what a busy agitator you are; you make speeches, you stir people up; but when some concrete instance of progress presents itself--as now, in the case of our machines--you do not want to have anything to do with it; you are afraid.Aune: Yes, I really am afraid, Mr. Bernick. I am afraid for the number of men who will have the bread taken out of their mouths by these machines. You are very fond, sir, of talking about the consideration we owe to the community; it seems to me, however, that the community has its duties too. Why should science and capital venture to introduce these new discoveries into labour, before the community has had time to educate a generation up to using them?

Hovstad. Dont you think the Doctor hits them pretty hard?Billing. Hard? Bless my soul, hes crushing! Every word falls likehow shall I put it?like the blow of a sledgehammer.Hovstad. Yes, but they are not the people to throw up the sponge at the first blow.Billing. That is true; and for that reason we must strike blow upon blow until the whole of this aristocracy tumbles to pieces. As I sat in there reading this, I almost seemed to see a revolution in being.

In "A Dolls House", housewife Nora hides her financial problems from her husband Torvald. When Torvald learns of her deceit, he becomes angry. Disgusted by his selfishness and after realizing that she is no longer content to be anyones doll wife", Nora leaves him to become an independent woman.First performed in December of 1879, Henrik Ibsens play "A Dolls House" was met with both incredible success and immediate criticism for its, at the time, highly controversial views on marriage and family. Whereas critics claimed "A Dolls House" threatened to dismantle traditional Victorian values, fans found its realistic, complex depictions of individuals and families relatable, inspiring, and refreshing.

Brand e un dramma in cinque atti del drammaturgo norvegese Henrik Ibsen scritto fra il 1865 ed il 1866, e rappresentato nel 1885.Narra della storia del pastore Brand che crede nella forza della volonta, tratta tutti con astio e durezza. Estremista negli atteggiamenti finira con il morire da solo chiedendo a Dio: Rispondimi o Dio nellora in cui la morte mi investe, non e dunque sufficiente tutta la volonta di un uomo a conseguire una sola parte di salvezza?. Ottenendo in risposta: Dio e carita (dalla traduzione di Cervesato A).Henrik Johan Ibsen (Skien, 20 marzo 1828 Oslo, 23 maggio 1906) e stato un drammaturgo, poeta e regista teatrale norvegese. È considerato il padre della drammaturgia moderna, per aver portato nel teatro la dimensione piu intima della borghesia ottocentesca, mettendone a nudo le contraddizioni.Traduzione di Arnaldo Cervesato e Tyra Kleen.

La publicación de estas dos obras es el resultado de un proyecto impulsado por el Instituto de Estudios Ibsenianos de la Universidad de Oslo y financiado por el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Noruega, con el apoyo de NORLA para traducir de nuevo todo el teatro de Ibsen.En el caso de las dos obras que presentamos, la traduccion es de Cristina Gomez Baggethun y es realmente novedosa. Por un lado, como señala Ignacio Garcia May en su esclarecedor prologo, Casa de muñecas es una de las obras mas famosas de la historia del teatro pero tambien de las mas asediadas por los lugares comunes y la incomprension.Por otra parte, Solness, el constructor llevaba cincuenta años sin publicarse en España, y fue la primera obra escrita por Ibsen tras su regreso a Noruega despues de veintisiete años de exilio. Se trata de una obra maestra absoluta, un texto titanico, y seguramente uno de los mas personales jamas escritos por Ibsen. Transcurridos mas de cien años desde su muerte, Ibsen es, despues de Shakespeare, el autor mas representado en el mundo. Su genialidad, que fue continuada poco despues por Strindberg y Chejov, puso, como señala Garcia May, patas arriba la forma entonces convencional de escribir teatro dejando a un lado la retorica declamatoria decimononica para introducir en los personajes eso que, a partir de Stanislavski, se popularizaria en el lenguaje teatral como el subtexto, es decir, aquello que no se dice pero late bajo las palabras, sujetandolas o contradiciendolas, pero en cualquier caso dotandolas de una riqueza de significados previamente desconocida.

Dolls House a play Henrik Ibsen - A Dolls House is a three-act play written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen. A Dolls House richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama.Ibsens portrayal of the caged ""songbird"", his flawed heroine,Nora, remains one of the most striking dramatic depictions of the late-nineteenth century women.Nora and Torvald Helmer appear to share a happy, idealistic marriage and family life. However, this perfect image is in jeopardy when Noras previous act of forgery is in danger of being revealed. The following incidents that ensue leads Nora to gradually realize that their marriage and lives has all been shaped by illusions, and she is soon left unsure about what is right and wrong. The play gradually builds to a climax when Nora rejects a smothering marriage and life in ""a dolls house."" With the intention to liberate herself from social construction she slams the front door at the end of the play and we realize that the romantic masquerade of their marriage is completely shattered.

The Master Builder Henrik Ibsen - First performed in 1892, this psychological drama is one of the great Norwegian playwrights most symbolic and lyrical works. The drama explores the insecurities of an aging architect, Halvard Solness, who suspects that his creative powers have diminished with age. Solness finds strength of purpose in his involvement with Hilda his muse, inspiration, and ardent believer in his greatness but their association leads to a conflict between heroic myth and complicated reality.

Hedda Gabler Henrik Ibsen - Performed for the first time in 1891, Hedda Gabler is one of Henrik Ibsens greatest dramas. It is the story of its title character, Hedda, a self-centered and manipulative woman who has grown bored of her new marriage to the kind and reliable George. Hedda was born to a life of luxury and privilege and marries a man she does not love to avoid becoming a spinster. After returning from her honeymoon, Hedda discovers that her marriage will not be the life of wealth and excitement she was accustomed to and that George will never be the ambitious and successful man she wishes him to be. To escape her boredom, she begins to meddle in the lives of Georges academic rival, Eilert, who is Heddas former paramour, and Eilerts unsuspecting wife, Thea. Hedda fears that Eilert and his professional success may stand in the way of Georges future in academia and Hedda takes it upon herself to sabotage her husbands rival, leading to truly tragic consequences for everyone involved.

Ghosts Henrik Ibsen - "Ghosts" is a drama in three acts by Henrik Ibsen, published in 1881 in Norwegian asGengangereand performed the following year. The play is an attack on conventional morality and on the results of hypocrisy. "Ghosts" tells the story of Helen Alving, a widow who is haunted by the many mistresses of her deceased husband and by her son who has inherited syphilis from his philandering father. "Ghosts" is a scathing indictment of Victorian society in which Ibsen refutes the notion that if one simply fulfills ones duty rather than following ones desires then a good and noble life will be achieved. 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

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.
