‘Masterful’
Deserving of a huge audience
‘This is larger than life theatre in every sense; song and dance, music and lighting, and all with the quarry as a powerful backdrop. The alternation between the large tableaus and the subdued scenes is done effortlessly by Mulvik and the other actors, helped by a professional production.’ (Grimstad Adressetidende)
5/6
‘Nils Golberg Mulvik is close to a complete Peer Gynt. With enormous energy and vitality in both voice and body, he brings this mythical Ibsen figure to life in a performance that, overall, is one of the most convincing I have seen from a Peer Gynt production.’
‘Masterful. The ensemble lifts Ibsen’s brilliant text to the heights it deserves.’ (Fædrelandsvennen)
PEER GYNT at Fjæreheia
The Norwegian Ibsen Company enters Fjæreheia. Fjæreheia is a former quarry in Norway where a characteristic red granite was mined. It has an amphitheatre with 900 seats. The quarry is a unique outdoors arena, just outside of Grimstad, the town where Henrik Ibsen lived and worked in his youth and wrote his first play.
With an intensely visual Peer Gynt that begins after dark, Ibsen’s permanent mark will be carved into the rock wall.
Inspired by the critically acclaimed drawings by Geir Moen, Peer Gynt returns to Fjæreheia. One of the biggest audience successes in Fjæreheia was Reidar Sørensen’s interpretation of Peer Gynt. Now it is his son, Kim Sørensen, who’s responsible for an intense and powerful version of Ibsen’s immortal classic.
Actor and director Sørensen believes Peer Gynt speaks to us all, in all stages of our lives, and pulls on our heart strings time and time again.
When you manage to avoid responsibility throughout your entire life, old age turns into an encounter with a person we might not recognise.
Kim Sørensen acted in Peer Gynt when it was staged in Fjæreheia in 1998. Speaking with Sørensen, he says:
“This is a journey into a human mind. Everyone says Peer is lying, but is he really? Who is Peer? Who am I? A person who isn’t acknowledged may have a tendency to twist the truth, but is that a lie? Can the lies be truths? A person who feels ignored is a person on the edge! Is Peer being pushed to the brink, or does he want this? Can reality be somewhere between truth and lies?”

2022 TOUR: Peer Gynt statister
Så fint at du fant oss! Vi trenger nemlig statister og ildsjeler som vil bli med oss på reisen inn i Peers utrolige verden. Det vil bli rappellering, troll, galskap og ikke minst en opplevelse for livet når Peer Gynt skal settes opp i Fjæreheia i juli 2022.
Målet til Ibsenkompaniet er å skape en fast arena i Fjæreheia hvor vi kan gi unike muligheter til alle typer talenter – og å være et bindeledd mellom unge utøvere og den profesjonelle bransjen. Planen, i tillegg til å gjøre Ibsen hvert år, er å skape en arena som er lettere tilgjengelig for alle grupper med et brennende ønske om å uttrykke noe sammen.
Her har du med andre ord muligheten til å bli en del av et team som kan jobbe og utvikle seg sammen, år etter år. Det vil du vel ikke gå glipp av?
Send oss en epost til statist@ibsencompany.com med en kort kommentar om hvorfor du vil være en del av dette eventyret, så hører du fra oss!
