Autorenporträt
Henrik Johan Ibsen was a prominent Norwegian playwright and theatre director born on March 20, 1828, in Skien, Norway. Widely regarded as one of the most influential dramatists in history, Ibsen is often referred to as the "father of modern drama" due to his pioneering work in introducing theatrical realism to the stage. His plays challenged societal norms and examined deep psychological and social issues, often with controversial themes that sparked public debate. His work influenced not only theatre but also broader discussions about the role of individuals within society, particularly regarding gender roles and the power structures of the time. Ibsen's most famous works include A Doll s House, Hedda Gabler, Ghosts, and The Master Builder. Throughout his career, Ibsen's plays were often criticized for their radical ideas, but they are now regarded as central to the development of modern theatre. Ibsen died on May 23, 1906, in Oslo, Norway, leaving behind a legacy that has shaped contemporary theatre worldwide. His works continue to be performed and studied for their insight into the complexities of human nature and society.
