  In $n$-dimensional classical field theory one studies maps from
$n$-dimensional manifolds in such a way that classical mechanics is recovered
for $n=1$. In previous papers we have shown that the standard polysymplectic
framework in which field theory is described, is not suitable for variational
techniques. In this paper, we introduce for $n=2$ a Lagrange-Hamilton formalism
that allows us to define a generalization of Hamiltonian Floer theory. As an
application, we prove a cuplength estimate for our Hamiltonian equations that
yields a lower bound on the number of solutions to Laplace equations with
nonlinearity. We also discuss the relation with holomorphic Floer theory.
