Directed by Aleks Jovčić\, this play offers an in-depth insight into Helena’s life and her personal journey through injustice\, pain and joy.The story focuses on the conflict between the patriarchal and conservative environment represented by the military and the liberal environment of the LGBTIQ+ community. Through this contrast\, the complexity of Helena’s life is revealed\, as well as the beauty and challenges of trans/queer life in Serbia. Important themes such as difference\, courage and honesty are central to the performance\, highlighting the necessity of authenticity and honesty in a society that often rejects those who do not fit into established norms. “Major and Helena” encourages us to reflect on how much courage it takes to be who we are in a conservative society. At the same time\, it also offers a message of comfort and support to those who feel lonely or rejected for being different.

Should we fight with the system\, or against the system\, by always demanding equal and non-discriminatory treatment and inclusion? To what extent does this make sense\, if at all? Is it even possible to achieve equality and inclusion within the existing system? On the other hand\, history is full of examples of oppressed social groups that have built their survival mechanisms through parallel\, even ghettoised mechanisms\, structures\, communities… When is it time to build your own parallel system\, parallel world? And how do utopias serve us in this story? Can we fight for truly radical social and systemic change without having utopian ideas about what we want to achieve? About how it would be if we did? Ideas about a different\, ideal world? And what happens if a community succeeds\, or fails\, in building a common vision of this utopian tomorrow? How is this reflected within the LGBTIQ+ community(-ies)?

It creates a space where performers do not have to adapt performances and themes that might not be appropriate on a traditional stage\, a space where the “ugly” becomes beautiful\, the non-normative is desirable\, the “unattractive” is attractive … It is one of the few stages where mistakes are allowed or even desired\, and the only limit is creativity. The cabaret format is designed to support the performers’ content\, desires and pleasures; thus in the DIY Cabaret “Feminism Is No Joke”\, all types of artistic expressions are welcome. The event seeks to create a safe space for everyone present\, and no form of oppression (racism\, sexism\, ageism\, oppression based on sexual orientation or gender or any other form of oppression) is tolerated.The DIY Cabaret series was created as a response to the eviction of the AT Rog community in 2016. From the very beginning\, the performance has functioned as an open stage for artists in AT Rog\, the wider community and international artists visiting Slovenia. The initiator of the project\, Danijela Zajc\, invites different creators to each edition.
