PROJECTS
NOMAD
NO WAY OUT
NO WAY OUT
NOMAD is a biographic physical theatre performance centred in the experiences of Ayşe, a Turkish female immigrant in Europe. Tender and funny, it explores migration through the point of view of three characters - Ayşe, the heroine, and two institutional monsters, Eric (policeman/immigration officer) and the Paper Creature (and absurd embodiment of bureaucracy). Whether work, marriage or refuge is the reason for migration, the period of waiting administrative limbo – which can last years – and the bureaucratic encounters that become the shared experience of all migrants. Based in Gözde’s own journey as an immigrant in Europe.

1989
NO WAY OUT
ABUELAS/ ANCESTRY
The performance ‘1989’ is a crossover of our artistic stage expertise. It is built upon movements of different oral, literary, visual, narrative, embodied and play matrixes. We interchangeably move within these matrixes as we move along the story. From not-acting, not pretending to be in a time and space different than members of the audience, not feigning, impersonating, simulating to be nobody nothing than ourselves in relation to the story. CUT.
How could we have a meaningful conversation on a stage in the so-called “first world” about countries in crisis?
