Ibsen as a "medium": contemporary Norwegian playwrighting on the Chinese stage

Activity: Talks and presentations › Talk or oral contribution › Science to Science

Description

In response to the call for papers, the author would like to
contribute to the conference by suggesting an expanded interpretation of the
intermediality paradigm that, instead of tracing instantiations of the “intermedial
Ibsen”, considers the possible ways in which the figure of Henrik Ibsen functioned as
an effective “medium” to introduce new generations of Norwegian playwrights to
China. Positioned at the intersection between theatre studies,
Chinese studies, and Ibsen studies, the paper will analyse different ways in which
Ibsen functioned as a “medium” for the Chinese-language productions of works by
Jon Fosse (b. 1959), Arne Lygre (b. 1968), and Fredrik Brattberg (b. 1978).
