In competition with a record-breaking 149 applications from 60 countries, five projects are winners of Ibsen Scholarships 2019.
The importance of being an individual in majoritarian democracies is addressed thought “An Enemy of the People” in India. “When we dead awaken” forms the backdrop for investigating the social and political impact of the protests movement Yellow Jackets in France. The balance of powers and its consequences are topics from “The Pretenders” that questions migration as consequence of economical games of power in Lebanon. “Peer Gynt” is seen as a manual of investigating global mobility, border crossing and drifting in an inter-Asian theatre project in Indonesia, Japan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam and “A Doll’s House” is taken to the Shanghai marriage market and the “left over women” of China.
