DIE FRAU VOM MEER

Play based on the drama by Henrik Ibsen

"The attraction of the sea. The longing for the sea. People are related to the sea. Want to return there. The sea controls the power of moods, a power that works like a will. The sea can hypnotize. Nature in general can. The great secret is the dependence of the human will on the "will-less"." Henrik Ibsen (1828 - 1906)
A mysterious stranger, an unforgotten promise and a woman caught between two worlds: Henrik Ibsen's "The Lady from the Sea" is a captivating drama about freedom, love and the unstoppable force of the past. It is one of the most analytical and symbolist works by the important Norwegian poet and playwright.
Ellida Wangel lives with her husband in a Norwegian coastal town - but the sea calls her, incessantly, relentlessly. She dreams of living free in the sea, like a seal. She swims in the fjord every day, but her longing for the sea cannot be satisfied. When the past emerges, she is confronted with a decision that could change her whole life. Is she ready to submit to convention, or will she answer the call of the unknown?
A play full of passion, symbolism and existential questions - Ibsen's masterpiece in a moving production!
