A Doll's House

Yngvild Aspeli plays Nora, a housewife who awakens to the illusions of her domestic life and chooses to break free. A leading figure in contemporary puppetry, Aspeli blends disciplines to create immersive, large-scale productions. In A Doll's House, she offers a bold, sensory interpretation of Ibsen’s classic, merging puppetry, dance, voice, and imagery. This uncanny mix of actors, puppets, and hybrid bodies draws the audience into a charged world where illusion meets reality. Aspeli transforms the stage into a vast web, revealing a woman’s fight for freedom, as Nora battles the constraints of domestic life. With her haunting fusion of human and puppet, she delivers a performance that is both enchanting and unsettling—a Doll’s House that shakes, shatters, and sets ghosts free.
