Gespenster: Ein Familiendrama in drei Aufzügen

In a windswept Norwegian fjord, the widowed Helene Alving runs a sprawling family estate that bears the weight of old secrets. Her son, Oswald, a sensitive painter, returns home just as the new home for the town’s infirm is about to open, promising fresh hope yet stirring uneasy memories. The household hums with the daily chatter of the carpenter Engstrand and his spirited niece Regine, while the local pastor, Manders, arrives with his calm, moralizing presence, casting a quiet judgment over the gathered guests.

As the characters navigate their roles—Helene’s stubborn defiance, Oswald’s yearning for truth, and the pastor’s quiet probing—their interactions reveal the lingering influence of past sins that refuse to stay buried. Beneath the rain‑soaked landscape, the drama unfolds like a ghostly echo, hinting at the hidden burdens each family member carries. Listeners will be drawn into a tense, emotionally charged first act that sets the stage for deeper revelations about duty, love, and the shadows that haunt us all.
