In 2005 Norway celebrated 100 years as an independent nation after the dissolution of the union with Sweden. Baktruppen had planned to look back and make a variety over the past 100 years as Norwegians.
Deadline was getting closer and Baktruppen didn't know how to make it. The condition of the nation will be highlighted in a better way if we present Dario Fo's Corps for Sale, one of the Baktruppen members said. By this, a new game was on, a shadow play with live corpses and demanding assets.
Lik som har kommet og lik som har grått (Corpes who have come and corpses who have cried) lik som er levende lik har det godt (corpses who are alive corpses have a good time) lik som er lik som er lik som er lik (corpses who are corpses who are corpses who are corpses) lik som er stumme som går med et skrik (corpses who are silent who go with a scream) lik som var smålik ble prikk like størst (corpses who were a little similar were very similar largest) lik som er lik etterpå var lik først (corpses who are corpses after were corpses first) lik som ble hardt sminka lik som en blek (corpses who were heavily made up corpses who are pale) lik som likvider går lett som en lek (corpses as assets go easily as a game)

Amund Grimstad, Corps for sale, 18.02.2005, Klassekampen [Oslo]:
"Instead I am happy there are groups such as Baktruppen who dares to turn things upside down in the eleventh hour, who dares to be spontaneous and to not give a damn about what is ready to present onstage. This production is an example that a hurried sketch can be as illustrating as a completed detailed painting."
