Kappe land (Land grab) is the name of an old children's game where the goal is to steal land by using a knife. In this play we are reminded of how large-scale global politics can affect a smal mountain village deep in Nordland.

Recent research shows that stress and trauma from extreme experiences can affect us at the cellular level and be transmitted from one generation to the next. What happens when an entire village is traumatized?

The play is performed in Norwegian/South-sami and subtitled in English.

6. September 1942, a large bang erupts at Tangen close to Majavatn. The Gestapo is on the trail of the resistance movement. Men from the Linge-company lie in ambush. It will be a bloody skirmish.

In the eye of the storm, we find Gustav Kappfjell, a young man at the wrong place at the wrong time. During the occupation days in 1940, Gustav fought bravely side by side with many young men from the region, but now he is sick and tired of war and misery. He just wants to live in peace with nature.

Fifty years later, Gustav stands at Majavatn station, where a young German woman fleeing her own childhood traumas gets off the train. She is looking for answers, and Gustav is forced back to the dramatic days of war, - to the memories he would rather forget.

Suitable for 12 years and up.
