Who is behind the events
Helse is a cultural-exchange organisation dedicated to promoting different art forms — from music, theatre, film and literature to discovering new talent, producing original work and staging cultural events.
HELSE was founded in 2003 to connect and present artists from Switzerland and Serbia — hence the name HELSE (HELvetia and SErbia). As the organisation grew, so did the demand for high-quality cultural programming. Today HELSE collaborates with a wide range of artists, both from the countries of the former Yugoslavia and from creators around the world.
