The French drama "A Bergman Affair" will raise the curtain on the 2023 Great Theater of China Theater Festival， which will run from September to December.
沙河市万实坚果有限公司A highlight of the 11 domestic and foreign stage productions， "A Bergman Affair" by the Wild Donkeys company will be presented at the Great Theater of China from September 8 to 10.
Based on celebrated Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman's novel "Private Confessions，" the play incorporates elements of drama， dance， puppetry， and multimedia to depict the fragility and resilience of human nature.
Anna， a 40-something mother of three， is forced to confront her inner conflict and anxiety after being trapped in complicated relationships with her godfather， 固原市秋同门窗有限公司 husband，浑源县海颜料有限公司 and lover. The stage will vividly depict the woman's desires， 钦州东升车宝汽车用品服务中心 fears， 大同区位锁具有限公司 and dilemmas.
Serge Nicola， 肇东市和北电动机有限公司电器维修 the drama's director， stated that he had always wanted to find a text that could carry the theatrical form of "body manipulation，" and at the suggestion of his wife Olivia (the actress who plays Anna in the drama)， he chose Bergman's work as the adaptation prototype.
The cinematic sense between the lines of this novel， as well as the sense of freedom that differs from a script， provided Nicola with infinite inspiration and space for his creation. It allowed him to include the elements he wanted to use on stage.
Nicola employs simple stage design and sets. There is only one table covered with a tablecloth， implying the drama's backdrop – a home and the coldness between family members.
青海龙兴盐业有限公司He also adapted the novel's original lines into everyday conversation， giving actors more room for emotional expression.
Individual stories reflect the multifaceted nature of human emotions， allowing the audience to consider whether people can truly control their own destinies in the emotional fog and what a healthy intimate relationship looks like.
The drama's creators will interact with Fudan University students on September 5.
