Peer Gynt is one of the most unique pieces in the dramatic repertoire.
A fantastic, metaphysical, philosophical tale which stages the initiatory journey, between reality and imagination, the quest for identity between dream and fantasy, of a pretentious young peasant and a bit cynical.
From Norwegian mountains populated by trolls to Arabian or Moroccan deserts, the hero - or antihero - meets some 70 characters in some 50 different settings.
"This is the craziest I wrote" said Henrik Ibsen, and the future has proved him right, since "Peer Gynt" has built a solid reputation as an impossible text, at least in its entirety. , even if some and not the least have tried it, often with success.
