Cafe Tagtraum 

The theatre artist and cafe owner Mirza Metin will present a first excerpt of his new performance The Voice Resurrectornn in his cafe Tagtraum, in which he explores the influences of the (colonialist) Turkish language on his vocal apparatus and how Kurdish unleashes a rediscovery of the body's own vibrations and oscillations. ‘I thought I had been doing theatre for 30 years. After 30 years, I realised that I had only used theatre as an archaeological tool to find my own voice, so I had always been searching for my own voice; the voice that the colonists had stolen from me.’

Afterwards there will be the opportunity to drink a coffee, have a snack, talk to Mirza or others or dedicate yourself to the poetic wall in the café and make your own contribution.

15:00

Ringtheater

Mariann Yar will present two monologue scenes from her performance LANDSFRAU. In them, the protagonist overwrites and changes overrepresented Western positions, images and narratives about Afghanistan, thereby creating an intimate and political space that cannot be taken away from her. Simultaneously confronted with a feeling of guilt about her own ‘peaceful’ everyday life, the solo evening LANDSFRAU paints a multi-layered and detailed picture of life in the diaspora - including its problems and privileges.

Participants will also have a walk around the Ringtheater to learn about its structure and programming.

ACUD Theater

Reflecting on her experience as a migrant in Berlin—a city with a reputation for sexual liberation—Daria Iuriichuk explores various 'formulas of the erotic,' from seduction and pleasure to othering and reclaiming agency. Drawing on imagery from art history and pop culture, Pleasures That Keep You Alive takes the audience on an erotic cruise through a play of gazes, political tensions, and moments of togetherness. What pleasures keep you alive?’

Saed Asad Sangabi will then show a part of his new dance performance Echoes of the Unrooted. The performance moves through the echoes of ancestral rhythms but also carries anti-folk values. a dance of contradictions, resisting tradition while still carrying its traces. Separated from the place and time that shaped them, the body turns to imagination, constructing a future where lost movements reappear, distorted yet alive. It blurs the lines between past and future, belonging and rebellion.
