Beyond the scandalous themes that have fascinated European audiences for over a century since its first performance in 1881, this domestic drama today strikes us most for the contemporary relevance of its “ghosts”: our emotional and behavioural legacy. Scene after scene, they unfold as a far-reaching critique of social conventions.
