HELENA is a musical listening drama that tells the story of "the most beautiful woman" in our history, the Greek queen Helena. She lived around 1,000 years before Christ, and her striking beauty motivated the Trojans and Greeks to a war that lasted as long as ten years. Helena, because of her looks, is often seen as a possession. But who is this woman? So much has been written about her, but she herself did not speak much. In this audio drama, Helena is given a voice.

Using 8D audio, the listener is taken on a musical journey in which she gets to know Helena better and better. We meet the woman behind the legend. But to what extent can you get to know someone who lived more than 3,000 years ago? How do you tell her story without undoing the past? HELENA is a sensory journey through time, beauty, and sound—an echo of Helena's voice, which reverberates in the present.

I am that girl With the beautiful eyes I'm that girl talked about by everyone I am that girl With the beautiful hair I'm that girl they'll always stare at
