In the historical article Perleporten Teatergruppe. Gruppas historie (literally: Perleporten Teatergruppe, the company's history) Karl Hoff writes:
"This 'piece' was performed in a large tent outside of The National Theatre during an Alternative Energy Week in Oslo the autumn of 1978. Hanne masked Catrine and Birgit as men, and Karl as a military police soldier, dying during the 'piece' because of his intimate interaction with radioactive energy from an atom power plant in miniature.
'The piece' poked fun of the kind of attitudes and arguments leading to us being fooled by so-called expertise, so that we, almost without being aware of it, contributes to digging our own graves - because it is supposed to be profitable. Half an hour of acting against atom power, never reviewed and not performed that many times."
