Toxic Femininity and Hidden Mythical Motifs in Henrik Ibsen's Plays

The theater expert, Adara Ryum, makes her appearance to talk about the dramatist Henrik Ibsen and performance practice. Ryum points out how «updating» Ibsen always implies turning him into political propaganda, and that «modernizing» classical theatre results in losing the intensity of the story and insight into the fundamentals of human nature.
As a case study, Ryum points to Ibsen's most famous play: A Doll's House. Is Nora (the lead character) a feminist icon - or a spoiled, irresponsible, lying and cynical brat, devoid of empathy?
But even more importantly, are the last plays by Ibsen's something more than "contemporary" drama?

Hi. Do you know if the book you keep mentioning has an English version? Would you mind sharing its name, please? Thank you.

[@jan-ovetuv3836]

That would be «Nora - you are lying» - if Ryum follows up on my suggestion to have it translated... That book is a milestone.

I hope it does get translated. I'd love to read it
