This is a performance where modern people meet the poet and we have tried to liberate ourselves from the conception of how poetry should be done. We wish to reach people both with high knowledge of poetry and those who hears it for the first time. A script was developed through an improvising game with the poems. We played around without considering established views on Wildenvey and his work. With this game we started to see how his life was, which is something we want to pass on without actually stating how he was and lived. We aim to express our perception, our picture of him, and our excitement of the material. In the performance we are playing with the form of poetry and we try to let the essence of the poems speak to us.

The critics say: 
DT.BB 29.01.1998; "The show is rock solid. It is vigorous, it is intense… On the opening night, the audience was captured and stayed with the actors from the first line... The audience response varied from laughter and full applause to dead silence.."

Fremtiden 29.01.1998; "The tempo is impressive and it's a thrill to watch the sparkle between the two actors… The audience was captured and we experienced the unusualness of spontaneous applause all the way through the show."

Varden 29.07.1998; "After some time they both won our deepest sympathy, a strong visual performance you rarely experience. The audience was captured and the applause followed through the show."
