MARIA LEON in 'A Doll's House'. EL BATEL

DOLLHOUSE

 

How would Nora slam the famous door of A Doll's House in 2024, one hundred and fifty years after the premiere in Oslo of Ibsen's famous drama? Why go back to Nora's well-known slamming of the door again? Why was the play revisited on Broadway in 2023, starring Jessica Chastain? Something will continue to stir our consciences when we return to the emblematic slamming of the door, which symbolizes the birth of women's independence from the dominance of men in family and couple relationships.

Of course Western society has changed in a century and a half. But maybe not enough. We still maintain roles and stereotypes that prevent the professional and personal development of women on equal terms with men. We have imagined what Nora's life and concerns would be like in 2024, what would lead her to abandon her family: a woman who needs to make up for the time spent caring for her sick husband and her children to take care of herself, studying and working.

All of this leads us, furthermore, to try to move the spectators by reflecting with the mirror of the theater the conflicts and contradictions of human beings today and always. I hope this representation touches the skin of the soul of the public, of all audiences.
