A sequel to the original work of Norwegian literary giant Ibsen, A Doll's House 2: Nora Returns, was recently staged at Tianqiao Art Center. Before the premiere, the play attracted a lot of attention with its three female creators, Zhang Ziyi as producer, Zhou Ke as director, and Celina Jade as lead. After the curtain opened, people had a deeper discussion on women's power, marriage and self-pursuit.
The stage lighting design of the entire performance is unique. The live video shooting with a movie texture not only completes a visual expression, but also achieves a spiritual dialogue. At the same time, the interactive links are integrated to turn the theater into a shared space. The audience is no longer a spectator, but a part of the story. In addition, the crew also set up fun activities such as drawing lots to get celebrity autographs and celebrity photos at the entrance, so that the audience can feel the sincerity of the creative team before the show starts.
On the night of the Beijing premiere, producer Zhang Ziyi and director Zhou Ke led the main creators and leading actors to the theater to share their creative thoughts and talk about their feelings behind the scenes. Zhang Ziyi expressed her gratitude to the four actors and the audience on the stage, and hoped that everyone would give more suggestions. "After watching the performance, everyone knows that the scale of this play is very large. I have watched everyone rehearse and they are working very hard. I believe that we still have a lot of room for growth and improvement during the tour." Director Zhou Ke said, "It has been a very long time for this work to be performed in China. The audience is very familiar with the story of "A Doll's House" by Norwegian playwright Ibsen, and this is the first time that everyone can see what the subsequent development is after Nora ran away in Lucas' sequel "A Doll's House 2." As the leading actor, the first sentence of Jingshan Lu, who performed in a drama for the first time, when sharing her feelings was "I am very nervous", "This drama is very worth watching, because we all need more communication in our lives, there is no right or wrong. Both men and women can awaken, we are equal."
The audience's feedback on this work, which has a lot of room for reflection, is quite profound: "This work satisfies all the imaginations of Brecht's descriptions seen in textbooks. It is highly speculative, full of sarcasm, and full of awakening." The creative team hopes that as the tour continues, more audiences will join this conversation about female power, marriage and self-realization.
