The Burial Mound (Kjæmpehøjen) was Henrik Ibsen's second play and his first play to be performed. It is a one-act verse drama, written in 1850 when Ibsen was 22 years old. The play was first performed at the Christiania Theater on 26 September 1850, under Ibsen's pseudonym Brynjolf Bjarme.[1]
The play was re-written in 1954 for a new performance at "Det Norske Theater" in Bergen, where Ibsen at the time worked as a writer, producer and director.
