At the webpage of Ibsen International the following, among other things, is written about A Doll’s House:
"A Doll’s House is a Sino-Norwegian production presenting Ibsen’s master piece as contemporary dance-theatre using both Norwegian and Chinese language on stage. This drama play is about the final revolt of Nora Helmer, a wife who has been treated her entire life as a plaything. Years earlier Nora has committed a forgery in order to save the life of her authoritarian husband Torvald. Now she is being blackmailed and lives in fear of her husband’s finding out and of the shame such a revelation would bring to his career. But when the truth comes out, Nora is shocked to learn where she really stands in her husband’s esteem. In the end Nora leaves her husband and children to find out who she really is."
A Doll’s House by Purple Star for Jin Xing Dance Theatre, Ibsen International, Teater Ibsen and Den Norske Opera & Ballett was supported by the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (grant for cultural exchange with Southern countries/performing arts).
