Veronika Abdul-Visocka - THE ADVENTURES OF DORA, WOLFIE AND THE INVISIBLE GUN

The work begins from a real event experienced by the maker: “On October 12, 2023, on a street in Amsterdam, a stranger pointed the muzzle of an invisible gun at my forehead and shot me.” The Adventures of Dora, Wolfie and the Invisible Gun is a looping investigation that takes invisible weapons seriously, exploring the harm inflicted by invisible bullets. A loop of scenes, gestures, and media attempts to grasp how the shadow of patriarchal and militaristic violence penetrates every aspect of our lives. The Adventures of Dora, Wolfie and the Invisible Gun is catastrophic thinking becoming theatre.

“The performance’s loop becomes an optic: what usually slips away suddenly fixes into view, as if invisible weapons were leaving visible traces.” - Theaterkrant

###ABOUT VERONIKA ABDUL-VISOCKA Veronika Abdul-Visocka (1997, Latvia) is a theatre maker, writer and performer based in Amsterdam. She graduated in 2025 from the master’s programme at DAS Theatre (Academy of Theatre and Dance). Her work is informed by a power-critical hybrid perspective, shaped by the multiple languages, religions, and political systems she was raised in. Rather than accepting one fixed belief system, Veronika is interested in exploring concepts of fluidity and multiversality as well as the capacity for transformation. In her creations, Veronika combines auto-ethnographic and auto-fictional material with elements of critical theory. Her process is driven by collaboration with artists across disciplines.

Research and work on the performance began within the DAS Theatre Master’s program (Amsterdam). Presented as a work-in-progress at the DAS Theatre Masters Presentation and at Enter Festival 2025 (Grand Theatre, Groningen). Made possible with a financial contribution from the ATD-Aart Janszen Fund and Amarte funds.
