»The Gyntish self - it is that host

of wants, desires that stir one most, -

the Gyntish self, - it is a sea

of whims and needs and urgency,

whatever stirs my breast precisely,

and thereby makes me live - concisely.«


Henrik Ibsens dramatic poem »Peer Gynt« was the starting point for the experiment Gyntschaft, a dance production in style of POGOensemble: A referee, some chearleaders and a team of young athletes comes into play...

»Above all, they create a unique body language: rough and funny, sporty and ungraceful. It is that funny, because they figure out movement stereotypes and recombine. And because the narcissism of an individual is a collective matter - their version (of Peer Gynt) is a distorting mirror of an entire society.«
