"Peer, you’re lying." The very first line of "Peer Gynt" reveals the core of this dramatic world: the blurry line between appearance and reality. For young Peer, who has grown up in rural poverty, continually reinvents himself through stories, lies and the art of invention in his search for himself and his place in the world.

Der Lügenprinz Motiv WORX
The "Faust of the north" is a satirical, relentless, enigmatic play that breaks every boundary. Henrik Ibsen narrates the odyssey of a self-centred storyteller who does anything to avoid responsibility and whose arrogance persists despite all the transformations he undergoes.
Peer is capable of being anything. Peer wants to be everything. Peer is a prototype of our society of affluence.
In her staging of writer Hannah Zufall’s "Der Lügenprinz", Lucia Wunsch embarks on a journey into the inner world of a liar. A search for truthfulness – and the beauty of imagination.
