Markus&Markus Theaterkollektiv:
Ibsen: Peer Gynt
Ibsen: Peer Gynt
In order not to lose his soul, Peer Gynt must prove to Ibsen that during his life he was only himself. But how is one’s self even defined? Markus&Markus have found their Peer Gynt in a dancer, womanizer, pilot and father who suffers from dementia. One who can no longer follow along mentally must dread losing one’s status as a person. Yet the self has a dynamic grandeur. Markus&Markus follow their Peer in his world, a world which has no difference between dream and reality.

MARKUS&MARKUS is a THEATERKOLLEKTIV founded in 2011 by students of scenic arts in Hildesheim. The group consists of Lara-Joy Bues, Katarina Eckold, Markus Schäfer and Markus Schmans. Together, the collective stands for its very own form of documentary theatre, passionate investigation and radical lack of perfection.
The works are characterised by intensive research, the results of which are captured on the video level and form an elementary component of the productions. However, the collective is not concerned with depicting a reality in documentary form and explaining the world - instead, the theatre context is decisive for accessing reality.
