Painkiller

The six-part show follows Dijana and Andrea, a mother and daughter who try, in their own different ways, to make life better for one another but keep failing, time and again. Dijana is a proud working woman from the Balkans whose body is worn out from factory work and cleaning. Incredibly enough, her daughter Andrea – officially a successful artist, unofficially still living with her mum – has convinced her to start attending a class for patients who suffer from chronic pain. When the class is abruptly cancelled, Andrea has an idea. She will subject her mother to things that are guaranteed to take her mind off her pain: Dijana will be the central figure in her new art project.
