About the Theatrical Readings of Dramatic Poem “Peer Gynt” in Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: The article examines the reception of the dramatic poem “Peer Gynt” (1867) by Henrik Ibsen in Bulgaria. For this purpose, it traces the presence of the Norwegian playwright on the bulgarian stage from the first production of his play (“Nora”/“A Doll’s House”) in 1897 until today, analyzing the changes in the interpretation of his texts in different historical periods. In this context, the study focuses on the several attempts of Bulgarian directors and companies to show Ibsen’s early philosophical drama on stage. “Peer Gynt” has six productions in Bulgaria, the first of them was in 1922, and the latest one appeared exactly 100 years later, in 2022. This is the performance of the director Katya Petrova and the troupe of Sofia Theatre, which also stands as the most significant theatrical reading of Ibsen’s iconic text until now.
