A theatrical adaptation of Norwegian alternative rock band KaizersOrchestra's first three albums: ''Ompa til du dør'' (2001), ''Evig pint'' (2003), and ''Maestro'' (2005). It is, by admission of the scriptwriter, famed author Tore Renberg, only his own interpretation of the lyrics and characters found in the song lyrics, and should not be considered {{canon}}. It was only planned for a limited run, and no recordings for posterity have been made.
