Like it or not, but every epoch has its super heroes who are analyzed, redefined and explained by each subsequent generation. Oedipus, Don Quixote, Don Juan, Faust ... In the second half of the XIX century talented Henrik Ibsen created restless, seeking not just his way, but himself in his dreams and half-mystical reality Peer Gynt.

Edvard Grieg, while listening to Ibsen's poetry, created the most melodious and famous of his overtures. Today the Song of Solveig is much more famous than the poem that inspired her. There was other music and there were other performances, some of them in ballet. But even today, in one and a half century, the ambiguity of Peer Gynt, that is rooted either to folklore, or the unconscious, inspires many artists.

In 2015 Edward Clug, the choreographer of Slovene National Theatre Maribor, starts a dialogue with Ibsen and Grieg. It is not an easy dialogue as Clug is a man of a different epoch and different background…

But then, do his views really differ that much? Just like Peer Gynt, we all live on the joint of various mental epochs today. And many of us believe that they were born for great things – “one just needs to understand where to start from”.

And it is equally important today for all of us to make the choice between the commandment “be yourself” and the credo of the trolls “be pleased with yourself”. But what if you do not find your place in life and the Button-molder will send your soul to the waste…

Cultural codes change, links break, threads get thinner, but… love still saves. And one still needs faithful Solveig…
