The Peer Gynt Festival

The event honours Ibsen's play "Peer Gynt" and the real figure Per Gynt, who lived in the Gudbrandsdalen valley in the 17th century. Per's stories have been passed down through generations, and these, along with the beauty and culture of the valley, inspired Henrik Ibsen to write the dramatic poem. The Peer Gynt Festival will provide its visitors with a good understanding of the Norwegian spirit through nature, culture, and traditions.

The Peer Gynt Festival is a nine-day celebration featuring events, concerts, exhibitions, and lectures set against the backdrop of the Norwegian mountains. The festival's primary event is the Gl theatrical performance of Peer Gynt. The Peer Gynt event is based on long-standing customs. The festival brings together some of the world's best professional actors and musicians to amaze audiences with one of the greatest theatrical spectacles of all time. The festival is now being organized by various volunteers who have come together to construct the festival from the perspective of tradition recreation.
