Scandinavian theatre movement

The Scandinavian theatre movement, emerging in countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark in the early 20th century, focuses on innovative, realistic, and socially conscious performances. It emphasizes natural dialogue, minimalistic staging, and explores themes relevant to everyday life and societal issues. Inspired by broader modernist trends, this movement aimed to make theatre more accessible and reflective of real experiences, often challenging traditional theatrical styles. Key figures include August Strindberg and Henrik Ibsen, whose works and ideas helped shape a distinctive approach that combines psychological depth with a focus on human conditions.
