Bergama, T urkey
Invited by the Bergama Tiyatro Festivali Festival.
With Özgür Bahçeci , Mustafa Çiçek, Nora Fuchs, Iman Ganji, Kaveh Ghaemi, Anirban Kumar, Hélisenne Lestringant, Yasmine Salimi, Cemil Can YusufoÄŸlu, Mohadeseh Zare.
In June 2018, together with "gastkollektiv", an international troupe based in Berlin, Helisenne took part in the festival created by one of the members of the collective, Eren Arıkan, to perform Whispers in Bergama, Turkey.
On the ruins of the temple of Aesculapius, God of medicine, the company developed a site-specific performance. Transformed into jester characters, according to Jacques Lecoq's method, the performers hijacked classical healing procedures by plunging the audience into an absurd world, offering a new cure, through self-mockery.
The dramaturgy also took a critical look at the cultural transfer of ancient Greek works from the archaeological site of Bergama to the Pergamon Museum in Berlin.
