Produced by Sonia K, and David Widger
"When We Dead Awaken" by Henrik Ibsen is a dramatic epilogue written in the late 19th century. The play explores themes of identity, art, and existential crises, primarily through the character of Professor Arnold Rubek, a sculptor grappling with his past and the impact of his relationships. The beginning of the play introduces Professor Rubek and his wife, Maia, during their stay at a bathing establishment, where they reflect on their lives and the changes they've undergone since leaving for their trip. Maia expresses a sense of unease about their return and hints at a longing for a different life. Rubek is preoccupied with thoughts of a past lover, Irene, whom he had once used as a model for his statue, now regarded as his masterpiece. Their conversation explores their discontent with their current lives, foreshadowing a deeper exploration of Rubek's artistic pursuits and his internal struggles when faced with the looming presence of Irene. The play sets the stage for the characters' emotional conflicts and the tension between artistic ambition and genuine life experiences. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
