Peer Gynt - N N Theater Köln Freiluftfestival 2025

In the organizer's words:

Are you still lying, or are you already alive?

Norway, land of fjords, lakes and dense forests. We meet the young Peer Gynt in the midst of village poverty. He escapes boredom and social hopelessness with fantasy stories. However, his talent for storytelling increasingly degenerates into deception and trickery. Mischief turns into villainy, fiction into dangerous fake news.

His flight from consequences takes him around the world: sometimes to the Wild West, sometimes to a mental hospital, even to the realm of trolls. A life journey to himself begins. Like an onion, he sheds his skin layer by layer, but what is the core?

A colorful fakestory by the NN Theater freely adapted from Henrik Ibsen with lots of music and singing - no lie!

"With a lot of speed, wit and a versatility that is a joy to behold. A gripping round dance of illusions."
