Peter Gynt

2014 Barbican 易卜生戏剧节版本
Ibsen's famous hero becomes rock royalty in this 21st century reboot featuring songs by Iggy Pop and new writing by Sam Shepard.
Driven by a timeless hunger for fame and wealth, ‘PG’ remains a man on a desperate quest for his inner-self. His fantastical journey is wholly updated by this exuberant show rich in contemporary imagery, live music and original poetry.
Born into an international theatre family, Irina Brook first read Peer Gynt as a young actress living in 1980s New York. Friends at the time with Iggy Pop, she imagined Ibsen’s eponymous hero as the boisterous rock star. Years later, her vision has been vividly realised in an adaptation featuring creative contributions from the legendary musician as well as Pulitzer Prize-winning Sam Shepard.
