At the webpage of Dansens Hus the following, among other things, is written about Dry Act # 2: South Domino:

"Dry Act #2: South Domino investigates the similarities between popular games and the local community as a social structure, in terms of social interaction, decision-making and competitiveness. The answer turns out to be the simple logic of winning and loosing that emerges in our entire society."

Dry Act #2: South Domino by Human Works is supported by Arts Council Norway, the municipality of Bergen, The Fund for Performing Artists and the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
