About My Name is Peer Gynt
My Name is Peer Gynt is a dance theatre production by Flukt Productions.
"I hadn't been home for a while. And in some ways I could understand why my mom was kind of upset..."
In My name is Peer Gynt Flukt Productions presents its interpretation of Ibsen's world famous Peer Gynt. A lonely cabin in the mountains, a snow-covered landscape and an outhouse make up the stage design. With dancing characters, black humour, idiotic and elegant moments the everyday reality of Peer Gynt's (Magnus Myhr) is conveyed through a narrating voice (Trevor Gerard).
The young man's madcap perception of reality leads him from the silent village he lives in and into a half absurd world. How high and how far is he willing to go in his search for himself?
After My name is Peer Gynt a guided tour in the Peer Gynt park is offered.
Supported by: Kanonhallen at Løren (Oslo).

Dagbladet critic Lillian Bikset at Twitter, Februar 26 2012:
"Flukt Productions' My Name is Peer Gynt is a vital, fresh and daring Ibsen-spin off. Dance theatre to get thoughts moving."
