Peer Gynt

Ballet based on Henrik Ibsen’s play

Cankarjev dom Theatre and Dance Peer Gynt

Ballet and Orchestra of the SNG Maribor Opera and Ballet

Choreography: Edward Clug; Music: Edvard Grieg; Production: Ballet of the Slovenian National Theatre Maribor

Clug’s ballet adaptation of the story about a Nordic hero toured Ljubljana directly after its November 2015 premiere. In interlacing a folk fairy tale with Ibsen’s deeply intimate probing into identity issues, the Maribor-based choreographer attained notable international success. A great testament to the performance’s powerful appeal is its inclusion in the repertoire of the Vienna State Opera.

Performance lenght: 130 minutes including an intermission
