Composer (score), arranger

Play by Jon Erik Myre and André Lassemo, performed in the cargo room below deck on board D/S Hestmanden – Norwegian war sailor museum september/october 2022 and june to august 2023.

World War II is in full swing. The Norwegian merchant fleet becomes a piece in a total war, and Norwegian sailors are suddenly in the middle of the heat, whether they want it or not. Our story begins when the news that the Germans have occupied Norway has just reached the crew. We follow the characters Ingvald and Oskar, two brothers-in-law who work on board the ship S/S Hestmanden. Their journey, the situations the ship and its crew end up in, and the return home, are presented through encounters between them, literally between battles.
