What else, Peer?
After three performances of Peer Gynt, it's time to summarise what we have seen and heard. The professors and critics Frode Helmich Pedersen and Eirik Vassenden lead the discussion, which takes place right after the final Peer Gynt performance in Grieghallen. Along with invited guests, the professor duo will peel off layer after layer to try to find the core of the Festival's opening performance.
"See, that's what the Devil got because he was stupid and didn't consider his audience.
Where the starting point is most absurd, the result is often the most original."
