Peer Gynt is a young man from Norway who is an adventurer and teller of fanciful tales. He has a dream about the sunrise in the desert, dances with a beautiful princess, gets lost in an enchanted forest, and encounters Trolls in the Hall of the Mountain King! Edvard Grieg's classic score provides a beautiful background for the story by Heinrich Ibsen, one of Norway's most important writers. The production features fabulous Scandinavian folkloric costumes by Marilyn Skow and, of course, Momentum's fun and funny dancers! For kids ages 4-10 and their families.
