Where Did Ibsen Come From? The Contribution of the Foreign Language Tours to the Emergence of Henrik Ibsen on the Romanian Stage

Abstract

This article addresses the contribution of the foreign language theatre companies’ performances to Ibsen’s emergence in Romania until the middle of the twentieth century. The Romanian map of Ibsen performances demands a methodological framework that acknowledges that space, time, people and places are mobile points on the map, and that processes of cultural transmission do not always have clear departure and arrival points.
