At the website of The Norwegian Theatre the following, among other things, is written about Draum om våren* (Dream of Spring):

"A farce about representatives for Norwegian business enterprises and the cultural field, on a train trip.

They have gotten Jon Fosse to join them on a secret journey with the Transmongolian railway to Beijing, where they are to stage Dream of Autumn in an attempt at pleasing the Chinese.

The representatives are worried that the non-chronologic dramaturgy of the play will provoke the Chinese, and ask Fosse to change it. Fosse refuses, and is eventually shut into the cold storage car with the salmon, to'rethink it'. Due to entering a new time zone and all the alcohol the others forget about the time...

(...)

Trine Falch and Ingvild Holm are performing artists with experience from the artist collective Baktruppen in common. Falch is currently one of the resident playwrights at Dramatikkens Hus, whereas Holm is a research fellow at The Norwegian Theatre Academy in Fredrikstad, in the research program for artistic development. They have taken part in a large number of Norwegian and international collaboration projects in addition to independent projects."
