At the webpage of Hålogaland Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Tromsø re:visited:

"Four self-named researchers claim to have examined and brought forth statistical information about Tromsø. The findings are to be presented, but how much truth is there to them? Eventually the four stray from the real subject and become more and more personal, talking about themselves and their secrets.

Tromsø re:visited is about identity, how we see ourselves, how others see us and how we relate to society around us.

The production is created without a final script, and is based on statistical information and interviews with young adults, immigrants and tourists. We will ask them about their fantasies and personal experiences. The Swedish director and playwright Mattias Brunn has long experience with this working method. He finds that the place you live influences you, and that you influence the place you live. Accompanied by music by Per Kristian Fox Trollvik (F.A.C.E. and 22) we join a journey through Tromsø to find the identity of the town and its people."
