A play about mental health and well-being. Written for two actors.
Heck No was written and developed in collaboration with Teater Hekate members Minerva Peijari, My Ström, and Frida Wickholm. The play produced by Teater Hekate in collaboration with Psykosociala Förbundet, a grassroots mental health organisation, and toured across Western and Souther Finland in 2019.
The play is structured as a lecture gone wrong: two self-proclaimed experts on mental health, Lara Kraft and Bella Dagengrip, arrive to give a self-help lecture on how to overcome anxieties and self-doubt. The speakers’ own anxieties eventually get the upper hand over them, and the lecture ends with the two finding a new perspective on themselves and mental health.
