Many people are fond of music, but few are like Siv, who is a prompter. She spends a good deal of her life in a wooden box built into the stage floor. In truth, Siv has never had much space of her own. She married Fred and moved to his house, a place where the habits of Fred’s ex-wife and children are the rule. To make matters worse, Fred?s ex-wife takes it upon herself to come back home... in a wheelchair. One day Siv is left out in the street, after the musicians have all left. She is left with a tuba that someone left behind that she can barely carry. Siv, however, also has her moments of glory, as in Verdi`s opera “Aida”, where a parallel can be drawn between the tragic fate of those on the stage and confined reality for poor Siv.
