New piece: Smuggled Tea Time!
February 14-15, Kaaistudios, Brussels
for Moussem Cities: Istanbul

Smuggled Tea Time! is the new chapter in my creative collaboration with Mustafa Zeren.

It is an invitation from the Kurdish-Turkish duo Mustafa+Fatih where they welcome the audience to witness an hour of their collaborative conversation towards making a dance piece together at the margins of the international contemporary dance scene over a glass of smuggled tea.

What Now So Far

What Now So Far has the intention of knowing oneself with a view of the Turkish art field from the eyes of four people. A joint reconstruction with personal experience and memory is the focus of this intention. The performance, tries to grasp experiences and subjects in various dimensions, by looking at them from different distances.
