Helene Bockhorst - Live Woman

The new solo program "Lebefrau" by Helene Bockhorst is an ode to life. Dark humor meets colorful outfits and silliness as she tackles uncomfortable questions: Why is a man who enjoys life considered a bon vivant, while a woman is simply labeled a slut? Should family traditions be upheld at all costs, even when they involve depression and unhealthy coping mechanisms? What can I do for a better world – without making too much of an effort? And am I at least one of the more interesting cases for my therapist?

In her open and honest manner, she takes the audience on an emotional rollercoaster ride, where humorous everyday observations find their place alongside life-changing experiences. Between the lines, the program explores how to maintain lightness and hope even in difficult times. It is a program about trauma, depression, resilience – and the idea that there is always a reason to laugh, even when life doesn't go as one wishes.
