A Trial - after An Enemy of the People at Edinburgh International Festival

Dates: 8/7/2026 - 8/30/2026

📍 Theatre:
Edinburgh International Festival


A Trial - after An Enemy of the People presents a modern continuation of Henrik Ibsen's classic, directed by Christiane Jatahy. Starring Golden Globe-winning actor Wagner Moura, the play explores themes of authoritarianism and public judgment within a contemporary Brazilian context. Audience participation integrates a unique element, as randomly selected attendees take on the role of jurors, directly influencing the outcome of the performance. This piece marks the first chapter in a significant three-year commissioning collaboration among the Edinburgh International Festival, Holland Festival, and Festival d'Avignon.
