Tirena Theater: In my head

The Tirena Theater will mark the World Mental Health Day, October 10, this year with the play 'In my head', but in a slightly different edition – online. The show will be available for online streaming on Vimeo on demand this weekend! The link to buy a virtual ticket arrives soon HERE .

The play is included in the project "I feel" which in cooperation with the City of Zagreb is implemented by the art initiative BoliMe and in the programs of two festivals (20th Bitef Polyphony, 22nd Meeting of Professional Theaters for Children and Youth of the Croatian Center ASSITEJ), two professional symposia symposium “Youth and Mental Health” and the 3rd Scientific-Artistic Symposium of Drama Pedagogy) and two events (2nd Zagreb MentalFest and 9th Rijeka of Psychology).

"In My Head" is the story of Borna and Vanja, two teenagers. Borna has an important decision to make and as time goes on, he is under increasing pressure and does not know how to deal with stress. He becomes anxious and gets panic attacks. Vanja is actively involved in sports and leaves the impression of a cheerful and self-confident person. But she begins to feel worse and she doesn't know why, she loses interest in the things that made her happy, she becomes listless, she has no energy, she can't sleep, she is depressed. Neither Borna nor Vanja know how to help themselves.

When we break an arm, get pneumonia or any other physical illness we go to the doctor. But when we are in pain "somewhere inside", we do not know or do not want to seek help „
