Correspondent
On November 18, Moaser Theatre Group from Iran staged ’My Wild Duck" at the ongoing International Ibsen Seminar and Theatre Festival. Staged at National Theatre Hall, Bangladesh Shilpakala Academy, the productipn was an adaptation of Ibsen's "The Wild Duck".
Directed by Nader Borhani Marand, the play zooms in on Hedvig Ekdal. Hedvig has written a play and names it “My Wild Duck’. Molvik. her teacher, has encouraged her to write the play. The two have decided to meet the iconic playwright Ibsen to show him Hedvig's work and ask for his assessment. However, right before leaving her home, Hedvig decides to take one last look at the script, which is based on her childhood and two letters — one from her mother Gina and the other from a family friend Gregers Werle. Both Gina and Gregers killed themselves after writing the letters. As Hedvig goes over the letters, the past comes alive. Gregers had returned to his father's home following a self-imposed exile. There, he learns the fate of a former classmate of his, Hjalmar Ekdal. Hjalmar married Gina, a young maid in the Werle household. The elder Werle had arranged the match by providing Hjalmar with a home and a profession as a photographer. Gregers,
disastrous results. Over the course of the play the many secrets that lie behind the Ekdals' apparently happy home are revealed to Gregers, who insists on pursuing the absolute truth. Among the secrets: Gregers' father impregnated his servant Gina then married her off to Hjalmar to legitimise the child.
Stage designer Manouchehr Shoja divided the space into three parts. Scenes featuring the adult Hedvig took place in the front-right. Blurry, faded memories were enacted in the back; th'e stage was divided with uneven columns. Significant conversations and revelations were made in the front-left.
Costumes by Paridokht Abedin Nejhad followed the timeline of the original play. Background music by Amir Ghorbani complemented the brooding premises.
Fahimeh Amanzadeh played Hedvig. The cast also included Mehrdad Ziaee (as
. Hjajma^ Ekdal), Ayoub . ^Aghakbani (as; Gregers Werle) M and Behnaz Jafari (as Gina Ekdal).
The play was in Farsi and English subtitles were screened next to the stage. However, the subtitles were anything but coherent, which is a major drawback because "The Wild Duck” is considered to be one of Ibsen's most complex plays.
Today Prachyanat will stage 'Punarjanmo" (an adaptation of "When We Dead Awaken") directed by Azad Abul Kalam at Experimental Theatre Hall, BSA and Tehrik-E-Niswan from Pakistan will stage "Gurrya Ka Ghar" (an adaptation of "A Doll's House) directed by Anwer Jafri at National Theatre Hall.
whose mother died believing that Gina and her husband had carried on an affair, becomes enraged at the thought that his old friend is living a life built on a lie.
Guided by a fervent strain of idealism, Gregers endeavours to reveal the truth to Hjalmar, and thereby free him from the deception, which surrounds him. He meddles in the affairs of a strange family, producing
