Ibsen Under the Radar: Censorship and the Practice of a Global Theatre Classic

Tue 8 September, 5 - 6.30pm
Robert Webster Building, Room 327

It seems obvious that explicit systems of state censorship of the arts will necessarily influence the films and theatre productions made under such circumstances. Less obvious, however, are the answers to questions like: What are the specific traces of state censorship, how can they be discerned and analyzed in the cultural productions themselves?

Two artistic strategies will be emphasized: adjustments (cuts, rewritings, shifts) and additions, or what I call parallel supplements. They point to the interesting fact that censorship is more than repression; it can lead to genuine innovations, new forms of expression where artists smuggle the ‘forbidden’ into the cultural product. The chosen examples will be a theatre production of A Doll’s House from Vietnam, a film adaptation of A Doll’s House from Iran, and a theatre production of The Master Builder from China.

Professor Frode Helland is director of the Centre for Ibsen Studies at the University of Oslo in Norway. His most recent publication is Ibsen in Practice: Relational Readings of Performance, Cultural Encounters and Power (Methuen, 2015).
