Prix public : 12,00 €

"The Vikings of Helgeland" is a dramatic play by Henrik Ibsen that explores themes of honor, revenge, and the clash between pagan and Christian values in medieval Norway. Set in the rugged landscape of Helgeland, the play follows the intertwined fates of two rival families, the Hærmansons and the Örnulfsons, as they vie for power and supremacy. At the center of the drama is the character of Gunnar Hærmanson, a fierce and ambitious Viking chieftain who seeks to avenge his father's death by defeating the rival Örnulfson clan. However, Gunnar's quest for revenge is complicated by his love for Dagny, the daughter of his sworn enemy, and by the changing moral landscape of a society transitioning from pagan traditions to Christian values. Through its vivid characters, stirring dialogue, and dramatic plot twists, "The Vikings of Helgeland" offers a compelling portrait of a society in transition, torn between the old ways of honor and warfare and the emerging ethos of forgiveness and redemption. Ibsen's exploration of timeless themes such as the nature of power, the consequences of violence, and the possibility of redemption resonates with audiences across cultures and generations.
