NORA – ADAPTED FROM THE DOLL’S HOUSE

NORA – ADAPTED FROM THE DOLL’S HOUSE

This experiment begun in 2018, aims to adapt Ibsen’s A Doll’s House to a Bengali forum theatre context and address questions about patriarchy especially in rural areas that shows high prevalence of child marriages and trafficking due to the patriarchal traditions. The issues will be discussed through interventions using the method of forum theatre combined with local cultural forms. The performance will travel to villages and interactions between actors and audience will investigate the definition of empowerment perceived in the play, interrogate the internalized patriarchy along with the question of using binary to look at things that does not take to the complexities of the problem. Seminars will be organized in selected cities with artists, theatre activists and women rights organization to compare the perspective of rural citizen with urban on patriarchy related issues. The dialogic dramaturgy and seeing theatre as an art of democracy will also be discussed. This play will be first staged during the inauguration of 8th International Forum Theatre Festival organised by Jana Sanskriti in Kolkata in Dec 2018.
