Deichmans komplott* (Deichman's Complot) by Claire de Wangen was made as a guided tour around the library branch located in Grünerløkka.

The guided tout went through an imagined landscape situated within a real landscape, a wandering in a library where reality and fiction live side by side, and merged. Through the topography of the house and in the meeting with the strange characters of the place the audience discovered Deichman's mysteries.

Because the library was also open for other library users, the theatre experience was mixed with and intertwined with the normal activity of the place.

Deichmans komplott was supported by Arts Council Norway, Kunstløftet and the municipality of Oslo (department for culture). It was hosted by Deichman library branch Grünerløkka.
