About the play “Very Ibsen” is a black comedy with elements of Scandinavian horror. Characters inspired by figures from Henrik Ibsen’s plays reunite after their father’s death. A mother, daughter, son, wife, and husband form a family rife with tension, secrets, and unspoken emotions. The creators do not adapt a specific Ibsen play, but draw on what is most universal in his work—family dynamics, inherited trauma, and complex relationships. Audiences are invited into a world where, beneath the warmth of Norwegian sweaters, secrets lie hidden that can cause deep pain. As Kuba Drzastwa, a member of the Artistic Committee of the Teatr Polska program, wrote: “A hypnotic tale suspended between tenderness and icy detachment. The domestic atmosphere has the roughness of a Norwegian sweater, beneath which the horror of everyday life pulses. This is one of those productions whose dense atmosphere acts like a magnetic trap.” Cast Arkadiusz Buszko, Julia Gadzina, Iwona Kowalska, Kacper Kujawa, Michał Lewandowski, and Joanna Matuszak.
