Chinese actors Lü Li Ping and Sun Hai Ying stars in this production of Ibsens masterpiece, touring all over China. The 24th and 25th of December the Shanghai audience will get the chance to enjoy this timeless piece of theatre history.
This will be a golden opportunity to see two of Chinas most renowned actors, in an Ibsen play reinterpreted by famous director Wang Yan Song.
Sun Hai Ying explained during the press conference before the start of the tour in Beijing the reason for him to take part in the play: ‘Because it makes me realize that the world is the same. We all need love. Peer Gynt is a wanderer, I myself am a wanderer. ‘
Another important part of this play, is the music, composed by Edvard Grieg especially for Peer Gynt.
Mr. Sun is seemingly an admirer of Griegs music. ‘Do you know how Grieg could write this great music?’, he asked at the press conference. “He is using life itself writing music. Everyone who hears his music will be moved.’
It should be set for some great evenings at the Oriental Arts Centre.
