The classics speak to us of today and of ourselves. They speak to us of human relationships, of politics, of power, of who we are, how we are, and how we relate to each other. An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen and its protagonist, Thomas Stockman, are a clear example. 144 years after its publication, the play maintains a fierce relevance tied, of course, to the political dilemmas it poses. And even more so: it is also tied to Brazil, where director Christiane Jatahy sets the play, and to the fidelity to scientific truth defended by Doctor Thomas Stockman, even if it implies the ruin of the community, or the renunciation to preserve the economic interests of society.
