“…Her ne kadar Ibsen feminist bir oyun yazmadığını iddia etse de erkek egemen bir dünyada kendini gerçekleştirme mücadelesi veren evli bir kadının hikayesini anlattığı oyun dönemi için oldukça cesur ve öncü bir söyleme sahiptir. Bu bakımdan, bu oyun Ibsen'in diğer sosyal içerikli oyunları gibi, sahnelendiği dönemde oldukça yankı uyandırmış ve büyük tartışmaları da beraberinde getirmiştir (Krutch, 1953). Bunun yanında feminist tiyatro literatüründe öncül bir kadın karakter olarak Nora'ya rastlanmaz, özellikle feminist tiyatronun kurucu eserlerinde Nora'dan neredeyse hiç bahsedilmez.…”

The art of theatre owes its timeless power to its direct relationship with daily life and its organic structure that can keep up with the times. The fact that a play written 2500 years ago could still fill the theatre today can be explained by its universal essence as well as the unlimited flexibility that the art of theatre allows in practice. In this context, the research focuses on a contemporary performative adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House play. The research covers the two different adaptation of Ibsen's plays. One of them is A Doll's House Tale Nora, which is performed in storytelling form with an archetypal interpretation, other one A Doll's House Nora, which is reinterpreted as a digital theatre application within the scope of the Digital Stage project implemented by Zorlu PSM. In this research, the current practices that diversify based on Ibsen's play are evaluated in terms of technique and content. A comparative evaluation was made in terms of form and content by analysing the narrative technique used in the plays. The contact of contemporary theatre with classical texts is evaluated within the framework of the artist-audience relationship. As a result, what gives the art of theatre its unique identity is the organic bond it establishes with time. This situation appears in the plays in terms of style, technique, language and the relationship established with the possibilities of the day. Ibsen's play A Doll's House, written 144 years ago, can create stronger layers of meaning than when it was written when it comes to life on stage in the form of a storytelling or digital theatre. This situation, which draws attention to the unchanging contradictions of human beings, also reveals the contact of art with life through the transformation of performance.

In his Cornell University lectures a few years ago the critic Joseph Wood Krutch remarked that "Strindberg is ... directly or indirectly the strongest literary influence upon the currently admired Tennessee Williams, I should be willing to wager. Mr. Krutch was wrong about some things in those lectures. He persisted in calling Strindberg a Dane, and in getting play plots mixed up. And he thought the influence of Strindberg on Williams was largely a deleterious, a damaging one. But he was fundamentally right in observing what I should prefer to call an affinity, a relationship that needs to be explored.
