Connecting Conversations: Disturbing Hedda

Rowan Arts presents an upcoming event as part of our Connecting Conversations series entitled 'Disturbing Hedda: Director Terje Tveit and Composer Kaja Bjørntvedt in conversation with Phil Stokoe'

Please book online via the New Diorama Theatre website

Director Terje Tveit and Composer Kaja Bjørntvedt explore with psychoanalyst Phil Stokoe some of the enduring themes in Hedda Gabler. The main character is one of 19th-century Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen’s best known and most flawed characters.

This an accompanying event to Recording Hedda, a production at the New Diorama Theatre. Recording Hedda gives a two-way mirror look at the psychological makeup of a modern-day woman in her late thirties, whose fictional character takes on her private persona. The production draws on Ibsen’s original play and is a collaborative project between composer Kaja Bjørntvedt and director Terje Tveit, exploring the dynamic between text and sound.
