What happens when the brain suddenly stops working properly, and how can a person cope? The performance brings together a range of characters who reveal what it is like to survive, wonder, laugh, and start over. It is intended for all adults with a brain. Based on real events.

"The performance breathes, pauses, and reminds you: you are alive."

Duration: 30 minutes + post-performance discussion.

Written and performed by Pinja Hirvonen

Organized by the Uusimaa Brain Injury Association and the Finnish Brain Injury Association.
