In Tungvekterne* (The Heavyweights) by prosjekt tungvekterne and NTNU Museum of Natural History and Archaeology the birds one day discover something dangerous in the water. They need help from the heavyweights to scare it off, but is it always so that one is tough when being big? Is everyone interested in helping others? And may it be so that one is not always ableto help, even if one wants to? The production builds on fact and fables about animals.
