"In A Doll's House, the traditional male and female is in an ambiguous zone. Power relationships, love, sexuality and motherhood are part of complex patterns. Dance has a historical grounding in the feminine. Through dance history we have met a silent woman. But Nora is a talking woman. Or is she?
Ingun Bjørnsgaard, in her latest performance, grabs hold of Ibsen's most famous female character, Nora. One of Norway's foremost choreographers continues her immersion in Ibsen's works. In past performances, she has drawn inspiration from The Lady from the Sea and Hedda Gabler. Archetypal fragments from A Doll's House is reworked and inserted into new contexts with the unmistakable signature of Bjørnsgaard.
In Rotating Nora, the dancers and the choreographer seek out and indulge in collisions between requirements and expectations, between the sublime and the obscene, between desires and needs. Ambivalence is queen, and there is a dominating feeling of having gone astray. The tragicomic humanness becomes visible, imperfect and perfect. In motion."
The production is part of the program of The Ibsen Festival 2014.
