In the autumn program of BIT Teatergarasjen 2000 the following is written about Vakuum* (Vacuum) by Kreutzerkompani and Deathprod:

"In their new production Vakuum Deathprod contributes specially composed music, performed live. The production is built around ideas about arrival/departure, presence and zones of transit, and the theatrical elements are interwoven in a visual composition, sort of a time bubble or twilight zone. A maelstrom of explosiveness and idleness is mirrored by rotating blades, reflection on movement and the reflection of metal. The choreography is in the intersection between the dynamic and the mechanical, where the dancers' movements, with Deathprod's noise-based music and monochrome lighting cut a field of power."
