De Utvalgte writes the following, among other things, about Five performances about death:

"For De Utvalgte, the awareness of death has long been a persistent underlying context and motivation factor lurking in the background of the work. In Five performances about death, this awareness is given the lead role, and the audience is invited to a near-life experience, conveyed through situations and the reflections by people who are approaching - or have already passed - the only border crossing of any significance in the world.

Five performances about death has been developed from Gammel (literally: Old), a concept by Ingeborg Eliassen from 2004.

The production is dedicated to Kari Winge Onstad (February 24, 1941–March 24, 2020)."
