In an information leaflet made by Verdensteatret in 2002 the following is written about Thursday 14th of October:
"This performance is more based on text and has less dance sequences than the first part. The performance takes up questions regarding art and the artist (August Strindberg). The setting is dominated by a huge landscape painting, and the entire room has an atmosphere of a museum.
The text is from: A. Strindberg, T. Bernhard, S. Beckett, V. Baird."
In the Black Box Teater program for October 1991 the following is written:
"The writer sits at his desk... Tenth year in a row - and still he hasn't been able to write a single word. In the second part of its October Trilogy, with a world wide premiere in Bergen September 11th, Verdensteatret keeps looking ironically/fragmentary on modern people's lack of contact with their own lives and surroundings."
Performance that is not clear from the performance date list:
Foundation Gulbenkian, Lisbon, Portugal
The October Trilogy was supported by Arts Council Norway.
