"JT: Peer Gynt & The Norwegian Hapa Band isn’t just a play about identity. It’s a play about a thin-skinned man who thinks the point of life is to turn his identity into a brand. We started working on this play more than two years ago and at that time it felt like a necessary exploration of disturbing trends, though we couldn’t point to something specific and say “That’s what we’re talking about.” Jack Tamburri, Director Peer Gynt and The Norwegian Hapa Band

Though rock is native neither to Norway nor to Hapa bands, the idea for this version of Ibsen's Peer Gynt is fascinating.

REVIEWS ARE IN!!!
"Matt Park is transfixing and electrifying in the title role of Peer, a true rock star complete with guitar skills. Also co-composer, he audaciously leads the company through the ups and the downs as Peer’s stories gallop apace. Park’s physical commitment and range matches his fiery and imaginative inner life. Playing all of the women Peer finds himself in trouble with, Angel Desai is dynamic and vibrant, not to mention a killer violinist. Mia Katigbak is commanding and quite a force as Peer’s mother, among other roles, and steps in to tickle the ivories. Rocky Vega fills Solvay, the love of Peer’s life, with breathtaking vitality. Her voice blends styling likened to Regina Spektor and Charlotte Martin, and she’s a talented pianist. The chemistry between Peer and Solvay is just heart-wrenching. Paul Lieber, sharing the composer hat with Park, is always in the moment, whether bandleader, guitarist, or a smorgasbord of acting roles. On drums and mandolin, along with dance captaining and taking on a variety of wacky characters, Titus Tompkins is a knockout. Last but certainly not least, Uton Onyejekwe goes cross-gender as a youthful and warm Helga. This performance beautifully contrasts his strong-willed other roles, in addition to the band’s bassist."
