Henrik Ibsen's last drama, written in 1899, is a sharp reckoning with the price of art. The famous sculptor Rubæk has lost the creative fire that once produced his masterpiece, and he now lives a comfortable life with his young wife. When Irene, the woman who once modelled for that work, suddenly reappears, an unresolved relationship opens up, where love, desire and artistic creation are tightly intertwined.
The production is the third part of the 'Ghost Trilogy' but can be enjoyed on its own. The two earlier parts, Ghosts and The Lady from the Sea, were both acclaimed by critics and popular with audiences, and Ghosts earned Malene Melsen a Reumert award for Best Supporting Actress.
