At the webpage of Ferske Scener, the following, among other things, is written about Bernt & Tore Band:

"With an actor playing the guitar and a guitarist acting, children and adults were led through a madcap journey through a county characterised by the meeting between three tribes. But there was a meaning to it all; that culture is something we live in and something concerning us. Fairytales and old stories also need to be revived and remade to stay alive."
