About the show
Marking ten years in the public eye and twenty years since her first role, Sandra Siladjev presents a new original monodrama Seansa — a dark comedy that takes on questions of mental health, trust, ethics and the absurdity of healthcare systems at home and abroad. We follow Jasna, a woman in her fifties, during a psychotherapy session. Jasna leads us through a grotesque portrait of modern life where pain is measured in applause and humiliation in likes. The play asks whether the public stage has become collective therapy, and whether personal pain is the new form of social power.
