Following this Miki lead us in a group improvisation exercise where we followed a legless man through the desert who failed to be saved by Harry’s mum (e)Clair. Then Helle and Jack told told us of how they learnt of and set about recounting the tale of Helle’s ancestors and the two unrelated Tviberg families, the sole inhibitors of the isle of Tviberg in Norway.
