Der junge Peer Gynt versucht mit Lügengeschichten, der Realität zu entfliehen. Er verdrängt, dass sein Vater, der einst sehr angesehene Jon Gynt, Hof und Habe durch Misswirtschaft und zahlreiche Alkoholeskapaden verloren hat. Er lebt in einer Fantasiewelt, in der die heruntergekommene Behausung ist jedoch nach wie vor ein strahlender Palast. Auf der Suche nach Liebe und Abenteuer findet er sich bald in einer Welt von Trollen und Dämonen wieder. Er entführt Ingrid, die Braut eines anderen. Gleichzeitig verliebt er sich in die aus pietistischem Elternhaus stammende Solvejg, die ihn anfangs nicht erhört, sich ihm später jedoch anschließt. 'Peer Gynt' rast durch die Welt zwischen nicht er selbst sein zu wollen und nichts anderes als er selbst sein zu wollen, zwischen dem Begehren, zwischen seinem unbändigen Freiheitsdrang, und der Sehnsucht nach einem starken, unverwechselbaren Ich. AUTORENPORTRÄT Henrik Ibsen wurde 1828 in Skien in Norwegen geboren. Er war der älteste Sohn einer traditionsreichen, vornehmen norwegischen Familie. Seiner Vater war Kaufmann Knud Ibsen.

Später im Leben bekam Henrik Ibsen ein Dichterstipendium für eine Studienreise, und von 1864 bis 1891 lebte Henrik Ibsen abwechselnd in Dresden, München und Rom. Henrik Ibsen starb am 23. Mai 1906.

"When We Dead Awaken" was Henrik Ibsen's final drama, which was first published in 1899. It is the story of a married couple, Arnold and Maia Rubek who while traveling find themselves romantically drawn to others, in the case of Maia it is Ulfheim, a brutal hunter, who is the object of her desire, for Arnold it is Irene, a beautiful woman from his past. In these desires the two find themselves questioning the choices that they have made in life and whether or not they have ever really lived at all. One of Ibsen's most despairing plays; in its tragic conclusion it is as if Ibsen is asking if the fulfillment of life's desires is ever really achievable.
