The autumn of 2006 Ghosts by AKT5 was performed with Mads Berg’s Skulesongbok* (The School Songbook by Mads Berg), also a graduation performance. The venue was Black Box Teater and both performances took place under management of the newly established company AKT 5, consisting of graduated acting students from the class of 2006.
In the program from Black Box Teater the following could be read about Ghosts:
"Ibsen's play has, as we know, much subtext. A line can be said like a statement of its own, be directed towards one person or more at the time. Dehlholm underlines these mysterious, the dim elements of the original text through a montage of the original text, while examining text and image in the room. A new room is created for every act, and every room has its own rules for acting and movement. The performance and the meaning of the text change according to the location of the performers in the room."
