Ibsen continues to thrill, chill and inspire

The work of Ibsen has greatly influenced the dramaturgy of Greek theatre in the 20th century, and continues to be a source of inspiration. This winter is especially rich regarding the famous playwright: One exhibiton and four of Ibsen's most classical plays are on stage in Athens this winter.

The Lady from the Sea is considered to be one of Ibsen’s most lyrical, hopeful and rarely performed plays. It is a work with all the characteristics that make the writing of the great Norwegian realist unique: an exhaustive analysis of the thoughts and mental states of the main characters, an imposing atmosphere, and perennial questions about human relations. The Lady from the Sea is directed by Norwegian Eirik Stubø, an expert on the work of Ibsen and former artistic director of the Norwegian National Theatre.
