The Helmi & Theatre HORA (D/CH)
30 years have passed since Lester was in love with the pretty Angela. Back then, they both met in a wonderful floral dream - until Angela withdrew under nebulous circumstances. Now when she returns, she's rich, famous, good-looking - and wants revenge. The town gets a billion to kill Lester. Soon it turns out there are a lot of people who have unfinished business with Lester. There's not only his ex-wife and her beloved Buddy, but also the aggrieved ex-general Lester once rejected on a rainy night. If the plot of the tragicomedy "The Visit of the Lady with a Crush" reminds you of a well-known drama by Friedrich Dürrenmatt or the award-winning film "American Beauty", you are on the right track - and will certainly decipher all the other allusions with which the Berlin cult puppet troupe Das Helmi spice up their evenings. Also on stage: members of the Zurich theatre HORA, which has already shown its world success "Disabled Theater" at Grenzenlos Kultur and with whom the Helmis have a long-standing collaboration. And, of course, lots of cringe-worthy foam characters.
