ITA and director Kjersti Horn turn Wuthering Heights into a raw, physical production about power, class and violence that is passed down from generation to generation. You follow Heathcliff and Catherine in a world where love and pride constantly collide.

Heathcliff grows up as an outsider within the Earnshaw family. He belongs, and yet he does not. What begins as a deep bond with Catherine turns into humiliation, loss and anger. When he later returns, wealthy and determined, he does not choose reconciliation but revenge. Yet revenge does not set him free. Marked by humiliation, he has learned to reproduce the violence that once shaped him. The oppressed becomes the oppressor.

Catherine too is trapped. Torn between her love for Heathcliff and the expectations of the world around her, she chooses what is expected of her. She betrays her own heart to follow the path laid out for her, and pays a devastating price.

With her powerful, physical style, Kjersti Horn lays bare the core of this famous story. In Wuthering Heights, she examines the systems of oppression that we also recognise in our own time. The story shows that we all play a role in a larger system of those in power and those who are oppressed. The positions shift, but the cycle of violence persists. The ITA Ensemble performs Wuthering Heights as a suffocating family drama in which love and violence lie disturbingly close together.
