Helene Bockhorst

Helene Bockhorst's new program is an ode to life. Black humor meets colorful outfits and silliness as she asks herself uncomfortable questions: Why is a man who enjoys himself a bon vivant, but a woman is simply a slut? Should family traditions be continued at all costs—even if they involve depression and unhealthy coping mechanisms? What can I do to make the world a better place without going to too much trouble? 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 roller coaster ride, in which humorous everyday observations find their place alongside life-changing experiences. Between the lines, the question is how to maintain lightness and hope even in difficult times. A program about trauma, depression, resilience—and about how you can always find a reason to laugh, even when life isn't going the way you want it to.
