In Passage Nord's catalogue the following is written about Diaphony:

"An outdoor performance in Studenterlunden, a park in Oslo commissioned for the opening of the World Music Days. Three dancers and three musicians perform actions in intimate duets where the dancer places the instrument on a body part and moves with it as if it were an object while the musician must follow the dancer's movements and play the instrument at the same time. The drill corps of the Royal Guards participates with new choreography. The pond in the park is used as a stage, kayaks are carried upside down so that the heads of the dancers are hidden. The performers' costumes are survival suits and bathing caps marked with the Norwegian flag. Bands play from the four corners of the park. The performance ends with the actors donning diving masks and exploring the approximately twenty centimetre deep water while Edvard Grieg's Morning Mood accompanies the action."

Diaphony was performed at the World Music Days (Oslo).
