Deutsche Schauspielhaus Production of Henrik Ibsen's John Gabriel Borkman

Date: June 25-26-7:30 pm

Venue: National Center for the Performing Arts

Price: 100-580 yuan

In the interpretation of Karin Henkel and designer Katrin Nottrodt, the realms of upstairs and downstairs, described by Ibsen as strictly separated living conditions at the Borkmans', melt into a single dismal, oppressive non-location made of concrete, where people meet as if as a punishment and are obliged to perch on top of each other. There are no more escape routes of lies and dissimulation out of this bunker, this prison of souls, where the battles for power and people are fought to the point of total exhaustion.
