The event is performed in Turkish. It is not suitable for audiences who do not speak Turkish.
A young man stands on stage, talking to us about a particular passion of his: sounds.
He addresses us directly, as if giving a presentation.
The long table at the center of the stage resembles a technical control station, covered with various tools, devices, objects, photographs and recordings.
He tells us about the impact sounds have on him, tracing his fascination with them back to his childhood and sharing how his interest has evolved over the years.
At first, what he tells us feels deeply personal.
But as the story unfolds, we begin to realize just how significant a place sounds hold in our collective memory.
Alongside him, we hear the sounds he describes. Not only with our ears, but also through our memories, emotions and intuition.
We almost “remember” sounds we have never heard before.
Sounds of the present, sounds from our childhood, sounds that existed centuries ago. They merge, diverge, collide and transform, taking us on a journey together.
The young man sets out to follow the sounds of the city he lives in, and we follow him.
His personal history becomes a shared history.
Through what we hear, we confront what we have forgotten, become aware of what we have taken for granted, and listen to the things we have passed by without a second thought.
We get to know a city all over again.
Duration (excluding intermission): One act / 50 minutes
