Peer Gynt was the first production produced by Nordland Visual Theatre. It was the theatre's contribution to the Grieg jubilee in 1993 and it was initiated by the county's cultural manager. The production was wordless and put the emphasis on Peer's relationships to women. The women were presented through puppets, whereas Peer was played by a masked actor, Martin Slaatto.
