Henrik Ibsen: Peer Gynt

Project description:

Design and execution of a motor-driven component of the theatre set for Heinrich Ibsen's Peer Gynt in the Schauspielhaus Leipzig.

During the play, the ship moves up and down in an antidromic fashion through the (motor-driven) swell, also constructed especially for the production. At the end of the play, the ship “sinks” behind the waves.
