Nora

„Katharina Bach in the title role is, however, not a Nora who will tolerate this for long. Bach turns her character’s nervous energy into the driving force of her attempts at emancipation and in this way becomes the powerhouse of a fantastic ensemble in which everyone has the opportunity to shine.“

“Brucker has invited Sivan Ben Yishai – recently named “Dramatist of the Year” and still fresh in Munich audiences’ memories for “Like Lovers do (Memoirs of Medusa)” – to provide a novel and thoroughly entertaining overture for “Nora”. This, as well as the additions to the text by Ivna Žic and Gerhild Steinbuch, changes our view of Ibsen’s characters. He premiered his play in 1879 untouched by strobe lighting or pounding metal music, by creepy, horror-movie children in yellow hoods or men in petticoats – untouched by everything with which Brucker now coherently expands the universe of his play.”

„Felicitas Brucker and her powerfully chameleon-like leading actor Katharina Bach condense all these narratives into a ticking time bomb of a thriller, a restless journey into the boundless freedom-searching but increasingly cornered psyche of Nora who is less and less able to withstand the pressure of expectations building up on all sides. (…) Thunderous applause.“

„This is grand theatre about important issues which is both entertaining and thought-provoking, simultaneously hilarious and tragic, and which has a great deal to do with us, with our coexistence. And with our vision of a future.“
