"Peer, you are lying". The very first sentence already reveals the core of the Peer-Gyntian cosmos: the blurred line between being and seeming. Because young Peer, raised in rural poverty, keeps reinventing himself on his search for himself and his place in the world through stories, lies and the art of fabulation. The "Nordic Faust" is a satirical, licentious, mysterious work that bursts all boundaries. Henrik Ibsen recounts the odyssey of a self-centred story-teller who refuses all accountability and whose hubris remains intact despite all of his transformations.
Peer, the Prince of Liars, can be everything. He wants to be everything. Peer is the prototype of our society of abundance. With "Der Lügenprinz", Lucia Wunsch sets out on a journey into the innermost of a liar, a search for truthfulness – and the beauty of the imagination.
