Because Gilgamesh stole my water – Performance von Ayat Najafi

Building upon an image of a violent dust storm in my father’s home city of Ahvaz in Iran, the talk will present a series of dust storms—both real and imagined—to explore the unexpected transformations and agential force of this poetic, mercurial, and unstable, but nonetheless potent material to reflect upon notions of diaspora, environmental crisis, memory, mobility, and time.

A docu-fictional evening that celebrates the emerging bond of a Kurdish-Brazilian wedding. A shared experience with encounters, dance, music, food and storytelling.

The artistic positions of Kerem Ozan Bayraktar and Sinem Dişli trace dust in different ways and show us a world of the outside and the inside. From a macro view of huge sand-bearing whirlwinds to the question of what dust is actually made of, they plan to talk about ecology, agriculture, borders and pieces of lovers.
