«Hedda Gabler»

Henrik Ibsen is one of the greatest Norwegian playwrights, often called the father of modern theatre drama. His plays revolutionised 19th-century theatre, bringing raw emotion, profound inner conflict, and pressing social issues to the stage.

In 1890, while in Munich, Ibsen wrote his renowned play Hedda Gabler - a story about a strong, proud, yet deeply unhappy woman. The premiere took place in 1891, also in Munich. Initially met with a lukewarm reception from critics, the play would go on to become one of the most iconic dramas in the history of world theatre.

Interest in Hedda Gabler remains strong to this day. The character of Hedda is a powerful symbol of the struggle for freedom and the desperate attempt to break free from imposed boundaries. Her story touches on timeless themes: loneliness, societal pressure, and the search for one's own path.

This is why directors and actors continue to return to this masterpiece, discovering new meanings in it for every generation.
