Performatives New Music Concert
31.Mai 2025 - 20:00 - Ev. Kirche Martin Luther Neukölln
Z comes from the land of the Bosporus. Her roommate in Berlin has little time, but she wants to get to know Z. Z tries to speak her language because her roommate doesn't speak any other language. It is difficult to improvise in a foreign language. The sounds of the city that Z leaves behind are reborn in the new city. The chaotic rhythms of old Istanbul meet the polyphonic soul of the Berlin she has just entered. Music and words search for each other. 42 minutes are an adventure in time.
We will also celebrate our collective Opera Now after the concert. The audience are welcome.

NO ONE'S CITY
2026​
​
No One’s City is an immersive VR storytelling experience following the journey of X, a young girl who recently arrived in the city of B after fleeing war in her hometown. As she faces bullying and adapts to her new life, a mysterious voice calls to her one day, leading her to embark on a quest across the city. Along the way, she perceives a unique symphony of sounds—from the stories of fellow immigrants to the subtle whispers of nature. Project reinterprets immigration as a source of skill and resilience, highlighting how X’s experiences grant her a heightened sense of hearing that reveals the city’s hidden stories. By embodying X’s perspective, the audience can feel the city come alive, revealing the complex relationship between humans and their environment. Through her ears, we hope to offer a resonant, immersive understanding of migration.

New Opera about/for New Wave People
2026
​
The political and social events of recent years have triggered waves of emigration in many countries. In Turkey as well, many secular young people have contemplated emigration. Germany, and particularly Berlin, have become a destination for this wave of migration, and the young Turks who stayed here became known as the "New Wave." Renowned playwright Ceren Ercan and award-winning composer Emre Dündar address the topic of emigration, which has significantly increased among secular Turks over the past 10 years, in their opera "Berlin Zamanı/Time for Berlin."
