Helvera's Night - Copy

An expressionist drama about Carla, a caregiver, and Helvera, her ward with intellectual disability. Helvera is fascinated by fascism not as ideology, but as spectacle, power, and a sense of belonging.

The performance explores several parallel threads: a woman who has already witnessed the collapse of the world; the limits of a caregiver's endurance; violence against people with disabilities; physicality and sexuality in the context of dependency. In the background - emerging fascism and crowd psychology.

The production employs 4D effects: stage machinery hidden beneath the floor, behind windows and behind the audience's backs, a spatial sound system, smoke, lighting effects outside the stage, and close contact with the actors. The performance contains scenes of violence and blood. A no-shoes zone applies.
