Description

Por que republicar uma peca escrita quase um seculo e meio atras? Apesar dos avancos tecnologicos estupendos dos ultimos anos, este texto de Ibsen nos mostra que ainda lidamos com problemas socio-economicos muito parecidos com os do comeco da revolucao industrial. A pandemia de COVID-19 evidenciou as limitacoes da gestao publica ao administrar uma crise de saude publica, assim como muitas outras crises pela historia. "O verdadeiro grande mal e a pobreza, sao as miseraveis condicoes de vida que esmagam muitas pessoas. Em ultima analise: os poderosos, os mesquinhos, os interesseiros, cultivam a ignorancia para se manterem no poder e obter lucros e vantagens!" Ao transicionar a protagonista, trazemos uma perspetiva interseccional e atual, que aborda genero e sexualidade no contexto de poder governamental e socio-economico. Ibsen nao nos entrega uma resposta pronta, ele apresenta questoes estimulantes que a polarizacao tende a ofuscar. Embarque nessa viagem no tempo, que nos leva a um lugar estranhamente familiar.

Despite the stupendous technological advances of recent years, this text by Ibsen shows us how we are still dealing with socio-economic problems incredibly similar to those of theindustrial revolution."Happily the theory that culture demoralizes is only an old falsehood that our forefathers believed in and we have inherited. No, it is ignorance, poverty, ugly conditions of life..."By transitioning the protagonist, we bring an intersectional and contemporary perspective to the play's narrative, which addresses gender and sexuality in the context of governmental and socio-economic (abuse of) power. Ibsen doesn't give us a prepared answer, he poses stimulating questions that polarization tends to obfuscate.Embark on this journey through time, which takes us to a strangely familiar place.
