Ibsen 200 is led by the National Library of Norway in collaboration with key national and international partners.
2028 marks the 200th anniversary of Henrik Ibsen’s birth
No playwright has shaped modern theatre more than Henrik Ibsen. His plays are still performed worldwide, year after year — because they speak to something fundamental about the human condition. Themes like individual freedom, personal responsibility, power, and morality remain as relevant today as ever.
Ibsen 200 will celebrate Henrik Ibsen’s legacy and far-reaching influence, in Norway and around the world. The bicentenary will shed new light on his works, opening them up to wider audiences than ever before.
