“Wakwak” – Performance von Orkan Aydin

The BlütenLust cultural weekend takes place on June 13 and 14.
Between open spaces and green retreats, the cultural weekend invites you to experience nature from different artistic perspectives. The haunting theater performance in the Winterhalle opens up its own approaches - atmospheric and experimental.

"Wakwak" - a musical-theatrical fantasy about the wakwak tree by Orkan Aydin (Otto Falckenberg School)

In Eastern myths, the wakwak tree grows with fruit hanging from its branches in the shape of human heads and strange beings - sounds, laughter, wisdom and apocalyptic prophecies emanate from them.

On the stage, which resembles an abandoned greenhouse, the tree is examined by two experts from the fields of sound and botany using theatrical means: Light, fog, audio amplifiers and contact microphones. When the tree resists the sound, their routine actions turn mysterious.
