“Nora” at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre

NORA FINAL POSER 1A EUROPEAN COLLECTIVE PERFORM AN ADAPTATION OF IBSEN’S DOLLS HOUSE AT THE LION AND UNICORN THEATRE

Adapted from Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll’s House, Nora is a co-production by SEARA – Companhia de Teatro de Beja (Portugal) and AREAμ[MI] (Italy). Two actresses play the same character in order to find themselves. By reflecting on social alienation and identity, the performance confronts the audience with their own fears and past memories. Who am I when I am not with you?
Sometimes, we need to lose ourselves to find our way. After leaving her husband and children, Nora tries to discover who she is without them. Confronted with her past, memories of what she has left behind, she struggles with her decision and being present. She doesn’t know who and where she is anymore. “None of this is real.” Is it?

Performing for the first time as part of the Camden Fringe at The Lion and Unicorn Theatre, this European collaboration is an exploration into one of modern theatre’s most complex female character.
Nora is mother, wife, woman, human, citizen with whom we can learn to become the best version of ourselves.
