A young actress leaves Istanbul during the military dictatorship of the 1970s. She goes to Berlin, meets director Benno Besson at the Volksbühne and follows him to Paris, where she works with him on his next production. The nameless protagonist repeatedly looks back into the past, telling of the population exchange between Turkey and Greece after the First World War, of deported Jews from Thessaloniki and of displaced and murdered people from Armenia. What the narrator has in common with them is the immeasurable longing of the people in exile. The theater and the people give her comfort, creative strength and become a new home. In her long-awaited new novel, Georg Büchner Prize winner Emine Sevgi Özdamar paints a vivid, interwoven and poetic panorama of the 21st century. The world premiere of this artist's novel will be directed by Nuran David Calis, who recently realized EXIL, MÖLLN 92/22 and DIE LÜCKE 2.0 at Schauspiel Köln.
The play deals with racism, genocide and sexualized violence.
