Event Gedda Gabler (Hedda Gabler / Гедда Габлер)
Print | Go to Admin
DescriptionMejerhol'd's direction freed the characters from the specifics of everyday life, thus underlining the timeless meaning of the conflict. Likewise, Sapunov's decorations were far removed from Norwegian reality. Both put an emphasis on aesthetics, not verisimilitude. The public was divided. Some critics thought that Mejerhol'd strayed too far from Ibsen's intentions in emphasizing form over content. Others (who were a minority) remarked that the modern style of direction and costumes corresponded to the symbolist character of the piece, which helped to better convey its mood.
