Christiane Jatahy picks up where Ibsen left off. In Ibsen's groundbreaking 1882 play, An Enemy of the People, protagonist Thomas Stockmann faces shame and exile after attempting to expose a water pollution scandal in his hometown. More than a century later, Ibsen's work remains urgent, grappling with the conflict between personal integrity and social conformity. Jatahy's sequel throws Stockmann, played by Golden Globe-winning actor Wagner Moura (Narcos, The Secret Agent), into a modern-day public courtroom to determine his fate. Lawyers and judges are noticeably absent, and it's up to a jury of audience members to decide if he is innocent or whether he is indeed an ‘enemy of the people'. Transplanting Ibsen's themes to contemporary Brazil, A Trial – after An Enemy of the People offers a sharp look at authoritarianism, fake news and public judgement. Ever inventive and deeply political, Jatahy combines audience participation and filmed footage, creating a one-of-a-kind performance each night where the line between reality and fiction is constantly blurred.
