Helene Bockhorst

Helene Bockhorst's new show Lebefrau is a celebration of life.

Dark humour meets colourful outfits and silliness as she tackles the uncomfortable questions: why is a man who enjoys himself a bon vivant, while a woman doing the same is just a slut? Should you carry on family traditions even when those traditions are depression and unhealthy coping mechanisms? What can I do for a better world - without going to too much trouble? And am I at least one of the more interesting cases for my therapist?

With her open and honest style, she takes the audience on an emotional rollercoaster where funny observations about everyday life sit alongside experiences that change you for good. Running through it all is the question of how to hold on to lightness and hope even when things get hard.

A show about trauma, depression, resilience - and the fact that there is always a reason to laugh, even when life isn't going the way you'd like.
