Event Peer Gynt
Print | Go to Admin
DescriptionPeer Gynt is a storyteller and dreamer, a liar and fantasist. On an adventurous journey around the world and soul that takes him from the Norwegian Gudbrandstal to remote deserts and from there back home, he meets countless people and legendary figures, but never himself. Bernadette Sonnenbichler's production presents Peer Gynt as a vital man in the best light years in the center. When death visits him far too early and confronts him with his own mortality, he uses all his will to escape the threatening reality. Using his imagination, Peer embarks on an existential journey into his own inner world and in search of his true self. It's a long journey on which he continually experiences new things in changing roles. This Peer Gynt, played by Heiko Raulin, imagines himself as a reindeer hunter and bride robber, as an emperor and prophet, as an entrepreneur and troll prince. The other characters he meets - the one with the crown, the royal messenger, the foreign passenger, the green one, the soulmate... - they all turn out to be variants, reflections and facets of Gynt's self. At the end of his life, Peer Gynt realizes that, like an onion, he has many layers but no core. He comes to terms with himself and in love. The first climate-neutral production at the Düsseldorf Schauspielhaus.
