Ellen Rees from the Center for Ibsen Studies at Oslo University
introduces Henrik Ibsen as a theatre practitioner. She unfolds
surprising resonances between French musical comedies by Eugène
Scribe and Henrik Ibsen's most famous plays, A Doll's
House and Hedda Gabler. We question romantic
distinctions between high literature and popular theatre, and
discuss Ellen's new theory on Ibsen's way to realism through the
vaudeville. We are confronted with deadly links between money and
love, and are reminded of the existence of academic bullying. But
in the end, we are reminded of the joy of shouting out our crazy
discoveries in the halls of venerable academic institutions.
