In På Andre Steder* (In Other Places) by Teater Mondelbrot a worn-down villa in Kassfjord has been transformed into a Russian research station across three floors, a place where Ivan, the grandchild of one of the Russians who took part in building of the Adolf Cannon, has lived his whole life.

With his team of scientists and trainees, a hostage, a medium, an actor and a cook, he researches his Russian roots through newspaper articles and an antenna receiving information from the past. The audience, dressed in white nurse's uniforms and audio phones, are transported with a special bus from Harstad (a 20-minute journey) and experiences the sound in the bus and the house via radio transmitters.
