The year is 1944 and the place is Greenland, we are near one of the many “Bluie” bases in Greenland.

Greenland experienced a cultural revolution in the years during the Second World War. When Denmark was occupied on the 9th of April 1940, the lone connection to Greenland was cut-off. It was a sudden end to all supplies of goods, both material and mentally. When Greenland and the US entered a defense and supply agreement with the Guvernor, Greenland was opened to the American continent. The standard of living was increased, there was many cod in the sea and the American culture became an asset and a competitor to the Danish one. In “Gi mi tiggum” we meet the young Kattaliit, daughter of a fisherman, hunter and small-scale sheep farmer. She has no mother, but multiple younger siblings, which she takes care of. One fine day a young American naval soldier from the US Coastguard turns up. The US Coastguard was responsible for patrolling the entire navigable coast during the war years. These two become good friends, really good friends, the communication between them takes place through body language and song. Kattaliit knows many of the popular songs and enjoys singing them for the young American. Bit by bit they start communicating through the little they know of each others language.

If we should term this production “a humorous musical travel through the year 1944” would be appropriate.

The duration of the play is approximately 45 minutes.
