Arts Partner: Ma-Yi Theater Company

The Drama Desk and Obie Award-winning Asian-American Off-Broadway MA-YI THEATER COMPANY presents the World Premiere of PEER GYNT AND THE NORWEGIAN HAPA BAND, a rock music adaptation. Book and Lyrics are written by Michi Barall, with music by Paul Lieber and Matt Park, orchestration by Chad Raines and music direction by Harrison Beck. The production, featuring a multicultural cast of seven actor-musicians, is directed and was originally conceived by Jack Tamburri.

SYNOPSIS:

Peer is a brash young man on a journey to discover his ultimate self in a rock music odyssey about risk, reinvention and going roundabout. Ma-Yi Theater Company’s remaking of Henrik Ibsen’s classic 1876 verse drama asks what it means when we sacrifice everything to be most fully ourselves. With a new American President about to take office, PEER GYNT & the Norwegian Hapa Band is both a cautionary tale, and a reminder of how to remain true to ourselves. This is a live concert format, with original songs that bring Ibsen’s classic rocking’ into 2017.
