La Canard sauvage [Die Wildente]

Not all truth is good for the Ekdal family. From the father who thinks he's a genius inventor to the grandfather who lives in his memories, life is a lie in this seemingly uneventful family, right down to the daughter who suffers from a mysterious eye disease... All it takes is the arrival of Gregers to shatter the illusion. By unearthing unmentionable secrets, doesn't truth-loving idealist Gregers risk shaking the fragile balance on which happiness is built? henrik Ibsen's The Wild Duck provides a playground for Thomas Ostermeier, a leading figure on the European stage and director of the Schaubühne since 1999. Driven by a relentless lucidity, his theater delves into the repressed past of the well-heeled bourgeoisie to uncover the specters that haunt the present.
