Second only to Shakespeare in terms of performances, Ibsen is
performed in almost every culture. Since Ibsen wrote his plays
about bourgeois family life in Northern Europe, they have become
part of local theatre traditions in cultures as different as the
Chinese and the Zimbabwean, the Indian and the Iranian. The result
is that today there are incredibly many and different 'Ibsens'
around the world. A play like Peer Gynt can be staged on the same
continent and in the same year as a politically progressive piece
of theatre for development in one place, and as a nationalistic and
orientalistic piece of elite spectacle in another. This book charts
differences across cultures and political boundaries, and attempts
to understand them through an in-depth analysis of their relation
to political, social, ideological and economic forces within and
outside of the performances themselves.Through the discussion of
productions of Ibsen plays on three continents, this book explores
how Ibsen is created through practice and his work and reputation
maintained as a classics central to the theatrical repertoire.
