An Enemy of the People written by Henrik Ibsen

An Enemy of the People written by Henrik Ibsen

Presented by HPAAC at Artspace Hastings River Lofts

Sod House will join forces with (lumin)theater lab Hastings and the audience to celebrate summer and community through the experience of live, site-specific theater. The production will play in Hastings May 31 – Jun 2.

This classic play, “An Enemy of the People” examines how a community responds when a local doctor threatens to expose that the water it relies upon for tourism is being poisoned. The play questions how far a community will go to protect their town’s secret in order to avoid financial ruin. “We’ve chosen communities to perform with that have recently experienced water pollution issues, and whose lakes and rivers are a major contributor to their tourism economy,” said Luverne Seifert, co-artistic director of Sod House Theater.

After each performance, water experts from local organizations will facilitate conversations centered on local water issues in hopes that the play and community dialogue will inspire water conservation.

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund. As well as funding from Hastings Prescott Area Arts Council (HPAACP).
