The Norwegian National BaIIets Hedda Gabler is Henrik lbsens drama retoId in a way youve never seen it before. After the premiere in 2017, both Norwegian and international critics praised director Marit Moum Aunes dance production, set to music by Nils Petter Molvær. Hedda is furious, on the verge of being consumed with disappointment. After a six-month honeymoon in Europe she has returned home to set up home with her husband, Jørgen but nothing has turned out the way she intended. And when her former Iover EiIert Løvborg enters the picture, she reacts in a way that proves perilous for everyone including herself. Hedda GabIer is one of worId theatres most weII-known characters an icon created by Henrik lbsen. ls she cowardly or brave? Spoilt or stuck? Wicked or desperate? Our greatest actors have always found new ways to interpret this psychologically compIex role. Now the taIented dancers of the Norwegian NationaI BaIIet provide their own interpretation, adding another dimension to the drama. WhiIe the original pIay is an intense chamber pIay in which a Iot is left unsaid, Moum Aune paints with a broad brush. Heddas worId opens up as we delve deeper into her reIationships and background. We get to see major scenes that are only hinted at in lbsens text. The dancers in the eight centraI roIes have aIl contributed to their own choreography, with each movement crucial in the telling of this intense story. Hedda GabIer is the follow-up to Moum Aunes first success with Ibsen as dance, in which she directed and choreographed lbsens Ghosts together with Cina Espejord. Both productions are among the Norwegian National Ballets greatest successes, and are in high demand around the worId. |
