As a result, a "clean performance" exactly according to the script took place. However, the today’s "Norwegian Evening" was enriched by a projection of photographs from the town of Tromsø and its surrounding nature (before the performance), a discussion after the performance and a subsequent brief projection of photographs from various theatre projects by Haugen sisters.
