"The Smell of Money is Grenland Friteater's new production - in the tradition after Smugglers, Rough Trade and The Flight. It is a spectacular two hour outdoors wandering in exciting surroundings around Du Verden Maritime Museum in Porsgrunn.
Before the nose used to itch in meeting with Grenland workplaces, but this is just a memory today. In this modern fairytale we follow the inscrutable ways of capitalism around the globe, from Porsgrunn to Peru - to places where the smell still makes the nose itch. Through harbour areas, jungle and big city slums we travel before we end near a shiny new factory.
But who have we turned into underway? Which side are we on?
Whereas we have earlier discussed the tremendous changes at home in Norway during the past century, this time we discuss our own role in the globalised world of today.
How does the meeting with the violent, class-divided Latin American reality affect our own democratic, socially egalitarian ideology? Are the ways of capitalism really that inscrutable?"

"The character gallery consists of clearly characterised types, created to be seen through, and (also in the tragic scenes) roughly drawn and full of humour. Often characteristics and lines have been borrowed from the caricature, in a personal twist on commedia dell'arte, updated to modern conditions.(...) Political naivety is a recurring theme for The Smell of Money: The political naivety growing out from romanticising revolutions, growing out from use of power of one's own, growing out from ideological blindness.
