Clug Peer Gynt Grieg la Scala

A ballet adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's philosophical drama, Peer Gynt follows the picaresque journey of its titular protagonist through a landscape of fantasy, ambition, and self-discovery. The work traces Peer's restless wanderings across continents and through surreal encounters—from his escape into the Norwegian mountains to his adventures in exotic lands and encounters with supernatural beings. Grieg's evocative orchestral score provides the musical foundation for choreographic interpretation of Peer's moral and spiritual odyssey, exploring themes of identity, redemption, and the search for meaning. The ballet captures the dreamlike, allegorical quality of Ibsen's text through movement and spectacle.
