About This Book

La pièce presenta un costruttore di successo che, invecchiando, nutre timore e risentimento verso i più giovani, teme di perdere il dominio professionale e porta con sé un senso di colpa e precarietà. La vita privata si riflette sull'officina: la moglie, collaboratori e apprendisti formano un microcosmo di ambizioni frustrate e aspirazioni contrastanti. L'arrivo di una giovane donna, che evoca ricordi e stimola la sua vanità creativa, alimenta desideri e decisioni imprudenti. Con dialoghi che esplorano potere, amore platonico, responsabilità e paura del rinnovamento, il conflitto culmina in un atto rischioso in cima a un'impalcatura dalle conseguenze tragiche.

About the Author

Henrik Ibsen

Henrik Ibsen (1828-1906) was a Norwegian playwright and poet, often regarded as the father of modern drama. His works challenged the conventions of 19th-century theatre and explored complex social issues, particularly concerning morality, gender roles, and individual freedom. Ibsen is best known for his groundbreaking play "A Doll's House," which critiques the limitations placed on women in society. Other notable works include "Ghosts," which addresses themes of heredity and societal hypocrisy, and "Hedda Gabler," a study of a woman's struggle against societal expectations. Ibsen's influence extends beyond his time, shaping contemporary theatre and inspiring countless playwrights.
