Gunilla Heilborn touches the minds and hearts of her audiences. With cinematic timing and dry humour, she shows us the extraordinary by presenting the ordinary. Her interest lies in themes such as collectivity, self-inflicted alienation, idealism, nonsense philosophy, and the humour in imperfection and in the failing of grand ideas.

”Doubt and uncertainty also find a place, next to the aforementioned trust in the universality of one’s own interest in stage form. The key to the latter lies in the work process and performance: the individual – the collective is almost always a theme, the form often a group work of unique performing artists.” Dagens Nyheter (SE) about 37 Hours and 3 Minutes
