The Ghost Sonata

Description

The Ghost Sonata is a world where spirits wander in broad daylight, a pretty lady is changed into a monster and hides in the closet, and the house cook eats all the nutrition from the food before she serves it in the dining table.

The Ghost Sonata is a story of a young pupil, who admires the lives of the people residing in the fashionable apartment building in Stockholm. He makes friends with the mysterious Jacob Hummel, who helps him to get inside the apartment, and he found out that it is a house of deception and disorder. The world, the young student thought, is miserable and humans must sacrifice in order to attain liberation. The play focuses on a family of bizarre people who meet only for the sake of seeing each other. They do not talk with each other, nor bodily actions, they just sit and laze in their mishaps.

Johan August Strindberg was a dramatist, author, poet, essayist and painter from Sweden. He was a well-recognized author who frequently gets his ideas from his life experiences, his literary career spontaneously lasted for four decades, and he had written more than 60 plays and over 30 texts of fiction, autobiography, history, cultural analysis, and politics. He was an established adventurer and cynic all throughout, he discovered a variety of play methods and strategies, from naturalistic tragedy, monodrama, and history plays, to his apprehension of stylish and dreamlike dramatic methods. From one of his primary works, he created new techniques of theatrical action, language and visualization. Strindberg is regarded as the father of today’s Swedish literature and his work, The Red Room in 1879 has often been considered as the first creative Swedish text. In his country, Sweden, he is remarked as an essayist, painter, poet, and of course as an author and playwright, but in several other countries he is known largely as a playwright.
