A theatrical performance in cabaret style where Herman Wildenvey's life and poetry are at the center, based on a copyright dispute between Stavern and Mjøndalen. The performance springs from a meeting between two people with different backgrounds and relationships to Wildenvey. The performance consists of known and unknown poems, such as "The Ring", "The Penitent" and "Kiss". Here, modern people meet the poet, and the group has tried to free itself from perceptions of how poetry should be done. They want to reach both those with a good knowledge of poetry and those who are encountering it for the first time. The scripts are based on an improvised game and a fabulation around the poems independent of established perceptions of Wildenvey and his work. In this game, the performing arts group has begun to sense what his life has been like and allows this to shine through, without claiming that this is how he was and lived. The performance plays with the poetry form and tries to let the essence of the poems speak to us here and now. The following poems are used in the performance: Anecdote, Love, Unknown title (about the name Wildenvey), By the road, Hergisheim, Women and again Women, Meeting, Beda Sings, February Dialogue, Fairy Tale, The Ring, Selma, To Don Juan, When the Muses Held Council, The Lonely Things, In Thoughts, The Angende, Insomnia, Road, Everyone's Eyes, The Mirror, Kiss, Fairy Tale To Ellen.
