An interactive performance about being yourself enough!
A puppet performance that presents a number of different instruments that alternate between puppet theater, mask plays, shadow theater, film and image installations and sequences with narrative theater.
The performance is a walk-around-theater, where you go to different scenic stations. The performance begins and ends temporarily in the same place - in a courtroom. The audience are the jury, which will judge whether Peer Gynt is himself or himself "enough", in a figurative sense: whether the Norwegian people's attitudes to the refugee situation of our time are rational and humane or protectionist, opportunistic and selfish? Peer Gynt is us - Norwegians! The Norwegian people’s soul.
The audience is involved in deciding different approaches in the action, design and they are also taking part in the actual scenes of the performance - partly as actors themselves on stage. Often the themes in these performances are about the audience themselves, discussing the social, political, psychological and moral issues of the person Peer Gynt, and themselves as emphatic people in today’s world.
