On March 23, 2023, Helen played NASSIM at Lillhärdal Community House in Härjedalen.
In the autobiographical play NASSIM Iranian playwright Nassim Soleimanpour brings the unifying and entangling qualities of language into focus. The actor on stage is just as unaware of what will happen on stage as the audience. Everything starts from a sealed envelope with the script that the actor, new for each performance, reads for the first time in front of the audience.
It was a nerve-wracking, inspiring and touching evening with surprising elements and encounters that neither the cast nor the audience could imagine in advance.
– It was super scary, but it turned out to be something very nice, Helen says herself about the show.
NASSIM is a Bush Theater guest play and Nassim Soleimanpour production originally commissioned and produced by the Bush Theater in London, where it had its world premiere on July 25, 2017.
