Highlights: Une maison de poupée (A Doll’s House)

From March 19 to 29, 2026, the Théâtre Silvia Monfort will host Une maison de poupée (A Doll’s House), after Henrik Ibsen, in a puppet version directed by Yngvild Aspeli (Plexus Polaire company), co-directed with Paola Rizza.

In this visually stunning production, Yngvild Aspeli captures the powerful drama of Nora’s emancipation, a wife trapped in a symbolically perfect marriage.

The life-sized puppets, manipulated in full view, become powerful metaphors for a society built on illusion, where appearances and reality intertwine. The scenography, with its haunting, almost "haunted house"-like aesthetic, heightens the silent oppression of the household. This production blends multiple art forms: puppetry merges with dance, music, a choir, and video to create unsettling and immersive scenes.

Nora, in her quest for freedom, breaks her chains and chooses to leave her husband in order to liberate herself — an unthinkable act, powerfully embodied by Yngvild Aspeli and her performers.

Discover this striking interpretation of the magnificent play by the great Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen.
