winter guests tells stories of the contemporary world with words, video, music and movement. The works are often based on real life experiences, including original text, transcribed recordings and improvisations. The company often inserts its own reality into the subject matter of the piece resulting in rich, eccentric, and entertaining performances in a constantly shifting format.

Most recently, Coelacanth a six hour long play, co-written by British playwright and director Andrew Wale won him the prestigious HEDDA Award (Norwegian Theater Awards) for Best Original Play, as well as three other nominations including Best Director and Best Play.
