Ibsen at the Theatrical Crossroads of Europe
A Performance History of Henrik Ibsen's Plays on the Romanian Stages, 1894-1947
Seiten
Henrik Ibsen's reception in the Romanian theatre provides new perspectives on the playwright's impact at the turn of the twentieth century.
While Ibsen's plays were seldom performed in Romania in the first half of the 20th century, historical sources highlight his strong impact on the national theatre practice. To address this contradiction, Gianina Druta approaches the reception of Ibsen in the Romanian theatre in the period 1894-1947, combining Digital Humanities and theatre historiography. This investigation of the European theatre culture and the way in which the foreign acting and staging traditions influenced the Romanian Ibsenites provides new insights into mechanisms of aesthetic transmission. Thus, this study presents a European theatre landscape whose unpredictability and uniqueness cannot be confined to essentialist interpretations.
