A fascinating one woman show in which the Swiss actress goes in search of her doppelganger. Trippy self-quest or autobiographical story-show? You decide.
June 2017. Aurore Jecker is attending a concert at the Belluard Festival when several people call out to her, telling her how much she looks like a certain Helen W. The latter is from Fribourg, the actress learns. She lives in Basel, works in a museum and skateboards. Jecker sets out on foot in search of her doppelganger, determined to learn to skate and, why not, befriend her. A strange and mischievous story-show, conducted like a self-investigation, full of pitfalls and twists, where fiction mixes with reality. One question haunts us, “Does Helen W. really exist or is it all a crazy invention?”
