Last night Emilie and I went to see Maison de Poupée (Doll’s House), a re-make of a 19th century Norwegian play by Henrik Ibsen. The play is apparently a criticism of the traditional roles of men and women in 19th century marriages, and thus was a bit beyond my cultural sophistication level.
This version stars Audrey Toutou (Amelie, The DaVinci Code and Coco avant Chanel) and opened in Paris before embarking on a broader tour that includes Switzerland. And while it was interesting to watch (particularly Ms. Tautou, since I’ve enjoyed her previous work), it was definitely hard for me to follow at times given the rapid dialogue.
As you can see, the poster for the play is a bit weird. The polar bear rug is on the floor of the main set during the play as well, but I didn't pick up on its significance.
