In Auvirkomma veiklinga by Goro Tronsmo the title is explained as a Nordic word construction, in which the made up word veiklinga refers to weakness (in Norwegian: svakhet/veikhet) while auvirkomma must be understood as a form of overcoming something (in Norwegian: å overkomme noe).

The frame story in Auvirkomma veiklinga described five persons waiting for something in an undefined room.

Auvrikomma veiklinga was supported by Arts Council Norway and The Audio Visual Fund.

Press coverage

"- All the time they get new impulses, director Goro Tronsmo explains. – To a decreasing degree they think illusion. The room the role figures are in at Black Box really doesn’t exist, so that these persons should meet, is almost more natural in these rooms. Tronsmo doesn’t take use of just a single room, but six left or unlikely venues, to perform the play. From an empty tram stall in Majorstuen, via the closed public bath of Sagene Folkebad, to escape routes, the prison Oslo Kretsfengsel, a workshop hall and the city council hall of Oslo

(...) - It is a method, but not a solution, says Tronsmo. – This is not a site-specific project, only a site-specific working method. We have planned this strategy to have a process underway, but the strategy can pull away its own footing. It is an experiment, but I see that they are able to examine the role."
