Ibsen, Bach, &–What Interferes with Love!

The Aesthetic Realism Theatre Company presents “Ibsen, Bach, &—What Interferes with Love!”  Hear the magnificent understanding of one of the great plays of the world.  And learn what men and women everywhere are hoping intensely to know: What is love, really?  What makes it go wrong, and how can it go honestly, passionately right?

This event features, in Part I: “How Is One Thought Of?,” a dramatic production of Eli Siegel’s 1969 lecture on Ibsen’s A Doll’s House.  In this performance, the audience will hear what no other critic has explained: “Every person wants to be seen a certain way—with good will and respect as one.  The value of Ibsen’s play is that the way a person wanted to be seen was made the dramatic key, pivot, critical point.”   That oneness of good will and respect is what men and women—and nations—desperately need now.

And Part II is “What We Can Learn about Love from J.S. Bach’s Flute Sonata in E-flat,” with performance and commentary by Barbara Allen (flute) and Dr. Edward Green (piano).
