Written by Henrik Ibsen in 1879, A Doll’s House is one of the most important plays in the history of western theater, an inescapable reference in the women’s liberation movements, showing for the first time a woman capable of abandoning children and marriage in search of her freedom.
What do we understand by love? How do social norms enter into the intimacy of couple relationships? What is romantic love and in what ways does it sanction women’s bodies and lives? These are the questions that this version of Colectivo Zoológico seeks to raise, updating the conflict raised by the classic.
In the same line of its previous works, this creation addresses the political dimension, analyzing the relations established within couples and how the private world becomes a reflection of our society.
The spectators witness the story in a staging where the action is divided into theater and cinema, through what the group calls filmic performance; a theatrical and cinematographic form that involves the capture, editing and projection of images in real time and in front of the audience.
In this version, Ibsen’s work coexists with biographical approaches to the experience of love, in order to inhabit the fine line that separates fiction and reality / public and private, tensing the status of the real on stage.
Casa de muñecas is a co-production between Colectivo Zoológico and Matucana 100, funded by Fondart Nacional 2019. The spectacle was developed on an artistic residency at the Watermill Center in New York, the prestigious creative center directed by Bob Wilson.
