Toril Moi will give a talk (in Norwegian) on Emperor and Galilean at the Ibsen Museum in Oslo on Sunday 20 November at 2:00 p.m. The talk will be called “Tro uten kjærlighet” (“Faith without love”). She will focus on the relevance of Ibsen’s great 1873 play for our own time, not least in the aftermath of the terror attacks in Norway on 22 July 2011.
The Ark: Ibsen on Fogo Island, Newfoundland
I am embarking on the Ibsen Ark! Off the east coast of Newfoundland, a group of committed theatre artists, actors and theatre students are spending three weeks immersing themselves in Ibsen. I am privileged to be able to go there to join forces with Juni Dahr, the great Norwegian Ibsen actress and her Visjoner Teater company, from September 9 to September 12. The event is organized by the English Theater at  The National Arts Center in Ottawa, Canada, in collaboration with Fogo Island Arts Corporation. I am also looking forward to seeing the land where the Vikings landed back in the 11th century!
