We present a show that takes place in a 9 x 7 metre stage box where the actors share their existential anguish with the audience through a free adaptation of this contemporary classic, considered one of the first texts of modern drama. Displacement, desires, love and disaffection, ethical conflicts, toxicity and destruction are the main themes of the piece.
As Ibsen himself wrote, “I seek to represent human beings, human emotions and human destinies on the basis of the social conditions and principles of the present”. On this premise, we propose a staging that places all the weight of the performance on the actresses and actors, the dramatic tensions of the piece itself and that confidentiality found in the proximity to the spectator who will live in the walls of this wooden box with the artists.
The possibility of enjoying some of the best actors of their generation in an intimate and very close space. A work of the highest interpretative quality in a box for 80 spectators but with the possibility of two very close performances on the same day. The possibility to sit in a different way in the theatre and enjoy the show as if we were inside the story.
