Thought-provoking

Mura gave me an impression of war and what it was like in the past. I thought it would be boring, but it wasn't.

The performance Mura was shown in a small hall at the Market for Music and Performing Arts in Sandefjord. It was a mix of theater and music, with a lot of drama and humor about war, Hitler and Nazism. 

When I entered the room, I saw that someone was sitting on top of the bed playing guitar, and below there were two people playing cards. They were talking to each other and having a good time together. There were three people there, two girls and one boy, and everyone had a lot of energy. 

At first they started singing a mix of opera and joik. It was a bit like that – I didn't understand anything, to be honest. And I didn't really like that, because I like to understand what people are saying and singing.

What impressed me the most was when they talked about war and what it was like in the past. And I find that very fascinating. There was a lot of information about what it was like before and what life was like then. And I find that very exciting and educational. But it was a bit difficult to understand when they spoke other languages. So it was good that they translated into English and Norwegian.

I thought "Mura" was going to be boring, but it wasn't at all. I found it very entertaining and funny. I learned a lot about the war that I didn't know and there was a lot of good humor that I like.
