At the age of twenty-six, the young British woman Anna Campbell decides to join the Kurdish freedom struggle. She leaves the safe fortress of Europe and dies in March 2018 in the Kurdish freedom struggle in Syria against the so-called Islamic State. »Political Activism was in her DNA« is said in interviews but there is no resistance in it but only red blood cells. The live radio play »Helix« explores the story of this young woman who decides to fight. In a polyphonic sound spiral, an approach is made to the attempt to come to terms with the incomprehensibility of extremes and to connect what is far too often assumed to be opposites: Feminism and war, pop culture and genocide, desire, longing and irony.
