A
worldwide celebration of Norway's best known playwright,
Henrik Ibsen, has opened with a gala celebration in
Oslo marking the centennial of his death.
Ibsen, who died in Oslo on May 23, 1906 at age 78,
remains one of the biggest names of world literature,
and is sometimes described as the father of modern
drama because of the realism and psychological tension
of his plays.
His homeland declared 2006 as 'The
Year of Ibsen,'
with more that 4,000 events worldwide starting with
yesterday's opening before 900 invited guests at the
Oslo City Hall.
The opening drew such
stars as Norwegian Liv
Ullmann,
Bibi Andersson of
Sweden, German Angela
Winkler, France's
Isabelle Huppert and Glenda
Jackson and Claire
Bloom of Britain,
all honoured with the Ibsen
Centennial Award. Isabelle had
just played Hedda
Gabler by Eric Lacascade in
Frace and Europe last year.
"There's
a pact, between you and cinema, a kind of tacit,
implicit
contract.
You are made for the cinema and the cinema is made
for you. For as much, it does not belong to you,
and you do not belong to it. But, each film, something
is played and replayed. You go towards it, and it
comes
towards you. It were like an unknown
zone between you, where one and the other would seek
to give birth to an image, a flow of images, revealing
a little of great mystery....This is why we
admire you and we love you, dear Isabelle."
