Le Trident : Une maison de poupée

After Moby Dick and Dracula, Yngvild Aspeli returns to the Trident.
Director, actress and puppeteer, Yngvild Aspeli adapts A Doll's House by Henrik Ibsen. The play tells the story of Nora, who gradually becomes aware of the lies on which her marriage and her bourgeois life are based. The Franco-Norwegian director imagines a lush set and hyper-realistic puppets to visually and spectacularly express the emancipation of her heroine. Nora, the pretty "little thing" until then entangled in her illusions, chooses to free herself and leaves her husband and three children. Yngvild Aspeli creates hybrid bodies, small life-size birds or human-sized puppets, manipulated in full view, which make us get as close as possible to the stage or watch the whole thing. And then there are the spiders. At first tiny and discreet, they become enormous and invasive over the course of the show, referring to the key scene of the play, the one where Nora experiences a sort of liberating trance, dancing the tarantella.
