A touching narrative game about Helga's life from 1931 to 1945. A moving atmosphere against forgetting is created using wire figures and sand. For teenagers and adults aged 14 and above.
Description
Matthias Kuchta tells the story of Helga Meyer in "Helga’s Journey to Riga." Born in Langenfeld in 1931, Helga’s life is traced up to her disappearance in the Stutthof concentration camp in the winter of 1944/45. The piece blends historical facts with careful speculation about possible events, creating a moving approach to an individual biography in a dark era.
The staging relies on minimalist yet striking means: figures made of wire and old newspaper, as well as fine sand, serve as silent witnesses to the narrative, creating an atmospheric density. The audience is not only invited to listen but also to reflect—the piece deliberately leaves room for conversations and shared engagement with the themes of forgetting and looking away.
A work of art that makes history tangible and encourages reflection.
