Mabou Mines Dollhouse

Work:: Mabou Mines Dollhouse (S01322319669)

A production that sets A Doll's House inside a doll's house. Mabou Mines' recreation of Ibsen's nineteenth century classic is a stunning mix of the absurdity of Alice in Wonderland and the searing emotional drama of the original play. The scathing criticism of the traditional roles of men and women in Victorian marriage is brilliantly inventive, funny and profound. Legend of New York's avant-garde, Lee Breuer, overturns traditional ideas of proportions to portray female subjugation in a male dominated society. Tall women are cast as the belittled female characters and the overbearing men are played by actors under five feet tall. The small-minded husband is perfectly proportioned for the tiny furniture, while his statuesque wife must squeeze into the doll's house setting.
