Since 1988, Henrik Ibsen’s Peer Gynt has been performed outdoors in the summer at Gålå in Gudbrandsdalen in Norway. Peer Gynt is particularly connected to Norwegian national culture and identity, and this connection becomes particularly poignant at Gålå. The event focuses on giving the audience a celebratory national-romantic experience of the typical Norwegian landscape, traditional Norwegian culture, and Peer Gynt, the most Norwegian of all plays. The question is whether a production here necessarily has to be subjected to the celebratory atmosphere of the event or whether it is possible for a production in these circumstances to question the hegemonic, national-romantic ideology that pervades the event. This article uses Chantal Mouffe’s concept of ‘critical art’ and Louis Althusser’s reflections on the relationship between theatre and ideology to discuss this question in respect of how the productions at Gålå are marketed. The article argues that, whatever critical potential there is in performing Peer Gynt at Gålå, it can be found by directly staging and questioning the expectations that the event creates and that audience members bring with them. Sigrid Strøm Reibo employed such a strategy in her 2017 production, which is the focus of attention here. Lars Harald Maagerø is a scholar and director whose research is concerned with the political and cultural impact of contemporary theatre. His productions include A Midsummer Night’s Dream and Twelfth Night with Thesbiteatret in Norway, and Mozart’s Don Giovanni at Opera Østfold.

自 1988 年以来，亨里克·易卜生的《Peer Gynt》夏季就在挪威 Gudbrandsdalen 的 Gålå 进行户外演出。Peer Gynt 与挪威的民族文化和身份特别相关，这种联系在 Gålå 变得尤为深刻。该活动的重点是为观众提供典型的挪威风景、挪威传统文化和Peer Gynt的庆祝民族浪漫体验，所有戏剧中最挪威的。问题是这里的作品是否必须受到事件的庆祝气氛的影响，或者在这种情况下的作品是否有可能质疑弥漫在事件中的霸权主义、民族浪漫主义意识形态。本文利用尚塔尔·莫菲的“批评艺术”概念和路易斯·阿尔都塞对戏剧与意识形态关系的反思，就加拉的作品如何营销这一问题进行了讨论。文章认为，无论执行Peer Gynt的关键潜力如何在 Gålå，可以通过直接举办和质疑活动创造的期望以及观众带来的期望来找到它。Sigrid Strøm Reibo 在她 2017 年的作品中采用了这样的策略，这是这里关注的焦点。Lars Harald Maagerø 是一位学者和导演，他的研究关注当代戏剧的政治和文化影响。他的作品包括仲夏夜之梦和挪威 Thesbiteatret 的第十二夜，以及 Østfold 歌剧院的莫扎特的唐乔瓦尼。
