A Dollhouse 2020 – Dance of Sin

A Dollhouse 2020 is one of several experimental short films in the art project Dance of Sins based on Henrik Ibsen’s play «A Doll’s House». In this short film, we meet Nora in 2020 who celebrates her birthday the year after her separation. Five other women have been invited to her birthday party in a bourgeois apartment on the west side of Oslo, Norway. They eat, drink and dance together. To explore the transition from being married to being separated, several symbols of birth have been used in this experimental short film. What is the role of support from other women in such rapid upheavals as both births and divorces represent? Can art give us any answers?
