At the website of Trøndelag Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Uår av Terje Vigen* (Crop failure by Terje Vigen):

"Henrik Ibsen's epic poem Terje Vigen (1861) is much-loved popular reading. The action is set during the Napoleon Wars, when there was a grain blockade and famine in the country. The poem depicts how Terje Vigen rows to Denmark for food for his family, and the tragedies he encounters along the way. When director Lisa Lie uses Terje Vigen as the starting point for her staging of Uår av Terje Vigen, one may expect an independent artistic work, where human decline and struggle to survive will be described in an unlimited universe - at the edge of complete Armageddon.

In Uår av Terje Vigen, we meet one who might be Terje Vigen, a Lobster and a Sea Witch. On the furthermost reef there could be, it is unclear if war is over, if world has ended or if it is about to do so. In a world haunted by hunger and illness, the human becomes animal. It is about survival, mentally and physically, in the battle against each other and against nature.

Lisa Lie is known for creating free-standing universes, with their own distinct rules. References to real life, fairytales and the inheritance from classic culture are mixed with a particularly expressive form and a good portion of humour."
