A site-specific intermezzo

During the winter of 1774 a young piano teacher arrives in Tollerodden. No sooner has he unpacked before the household is in chaos. All the women are infatuated with the young visitor and start fighting for his attention - the wife, the daughters, the parlour maid, the cook, even the bedridden grandmother is taken with the musical talent.

Mozart's Travelling Bag is a fictional account of Mozart's stay at Tollerodden, Larvik. It is a site-specific after-dinner intermezzo during an annual event in the historical Tollerodden and part of the Vestfold International Festival programme.
