More

A recurring theme for DDB - Dance, Drum and Bass by Musikk i Finnmark and Stellaris Dance Theatre was "The human being and the machines surrounding us". The term "machines" was interpreted widely and included everything from mobile phones and electronic toothbrushes to cars, planes and rockets.

The relationship between the humans and these machines both functioned well and not so well, and the production presented situations and stories connected to this kind of stories – most often with a large portion of humour!

- an electronic toothbrush not willing to exit the mouth
- a vacuum cleaner beginning to lead its own life
- an electronic car running wild
