Kundura Sahne, the interdisciplinary performance space of Beykoz Kundura, hosting the unique dance project “REVERT” on October 1; the premiere had been postponed due to the pandemic.

The site-specific performance is created  for Kundura Sahne by the dancer, choreographer and academic Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna;  the artist focuses on the primitive nature of the human body, their intelligence, and  atemporality with this interdisciplinary dance performance.

Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna  approached the body as a tool of conveying time, carrying and communicating; through the body, she focuses on the journey, the searching and the narrow bridge between the real and the surreal. “REVERT: Time Overrun” emerges from a dream that the artist had, means “getting rid of additions and returning to the initial structure, the primitive, the root”, where the word “revert” was the departure point and the performance is created during the pandemic through an integrated approach.

The performance conveys a knowledge, experience, and motivation of the whole within the layers of consciousness to the moment of now through the body, which stands between the past and the future, creating a new language of movement and an attitude on the journey towards the unknown.

Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna is accompanied by Metin Kalaç on sound design and Utku Kara undertakes the light design in the production along with the performing of contemporary dancers Aybike İpekçi, Diren Ezgi Yıldızkan, Ekin Ançel, Ezgi Yaren Karademir, Furkan Yılmaz, Gizem Seçkin, Hilal Sibel Pekel, Umut Özdaloğlu, Yoseob Kim.

Remote Istanbul is a play in which a group of city residents wear headphones and set off on a journey around Istanbul, guided by a synthetic sound. This encounter with artificial intelligence transforms the journey into a whole other experience. When we are guided by algorithms, whom exactly are we following? How can we make mutual decisions when we are all together? As we watch and are affected by one another, we make personal decisions, but can we still remain part of a group?

This journey begins at the specified meeting point on the Anatolian side. With Istanbul streets as the stage and participants often taking on the role of performers, we question our relationship with the city praxis. As we observe human behavior using artificial intelligence, we also grow accustomed to the sounds with each step. Throughout the journey, the viewer will be guided by various authentic sound designs such as binaural sound and film music. Just as the performance can become the urban fabric itself, it can also allow participants to form a wholly new relationship with the city…

We invite you on the Remote Istanbul journey, to rediscover the codes of Istanbul through brand-new sounds…

* We have taken health and safety measures against COVID-19 during this performance, and we would kindly like to remind our guests to adhere to these measures. Please click here for further details in our notice for guests.

Rimini Protokoll
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel founded the theater group Rimini Protokoll in 2000. Since then, they have formed different groups under this name to perform various works. They seek to create new perspectives on reality in each project they undertake, continuing to push the envelope with theater. Rimini Protokoll often develops the plays, performative installations, and radio plays it stages by collaborating with regular people who are experts in areas other than theater in their daily lives. Their works also regularly involve audience participation and playful use of technology. Guided by a dramaturgy that questions reality, their works transform venues and social structures into theatrical forms.

Curated by Berlin-based researcher and writer Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, the New Beginnings, We Hope selection will be at Kundura Cinema as of October 23. The selection, which is designed as a cinema exhibition consisting of four short films, will be presented to the audience in a cyclical screening format.
Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein's selection, which touches the various feelings that we long for in this difficult period when we are subject to radical changes due to the effects of the pandemic, also includes questions about the dualities that shape our way of thinking.
We listen to the inspiration behind the New Beginnings, We Hope program, which will bring the audience together with a viewing experience that leads to emotional stimulation, the films that make up the selection, and the flow of the films from the curator herself:

“This expanded cinema program emerges from the desire to again feel the pleasure of touch, movement, and nearness without denying the continued struggles and violence we are faced with. The five films were selected both for their aesthetic merits as well as the way they challenge binaries of life/death, violence/pleasure, and human/non-human. It is designed to shock viewers a bit, as well as move them; a sort of pleasant poke out of apathy and isolation.

We begin with Coyolxauhqui by the indigenous film collective Los Ingrávidos. The short film is bold and aggressive in its approach, featuring shaking percussion and trance-like images of the desert. Over the course of the film, we realize that something is not quite right in the landscape, with remnants of violence dotting it. The film is in reference to the Aztec story of the rape of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and is also meant to reflect on the prevelance of femicide in Mexico.

From this painful departure, we move to Pauline Curnier Jardin's short film Explosion Ma' Baby. This film documents the annual procession in honor of Saint Sebastian in which fireworks and confetti boom as babies are lifted up to be blessed, their soft and fragile bodies juxtaposed with a fanfare of fatherhood; men crushing in against one another as the camera deliriously spins through the crowd.

Maya Deren's The Very Eye of Night offers viewers a short respite from the strong and rhythmic sounds of the first two pieces. Deren's last completed film and one of her most ambitious, The Very Eye of Night was made in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor. It reflects Deren's continued interest in filming dance, as well as her desire, later in life, to completely untether her filmmaking from the constraints of plot and place.

The program ends with Lisa Jackson's Lichen. Shot in macro 3D, the film treats lichen with tender deference, celebrating it as a subjective organism with its own distinct life cycle and means of collective survival. The film serves to remind us of the vast timeline and interspecies company in which we exist.”

Coyolxauhqui  
Director: Colectivo Los Ingrávidos
Mexico / 2017 / 10’ /16mm / Colour/ Sound
Festivals: Cine de Morelia FF, Media City FF (2018), London Short Film Festival (2021)
COYOLXAUHQUI recasts the mythical dismemberment of the Aztec Moon goddess Coyolxauhqui by her brother Huitzilopochtli, the deity of war, the Sun and human sacrifice. The film is a poem of perception, one that unveils how contemporary Mexican femicide is linked to a patriarchal history with roots in deeper cultural constructs.

Explosion Ma Baby
Director: Pauline Curnier Jardin
Holland-Italy-France / 2017 / 9’ /Super 8 HD / Color / Mixed media installation
Festivals: IFFR, Amsterdam International Documentary FF, 25 FPS Festival (2017)
Now, come back here. Imagine how badly I fell in love with this. I despera- tely want to be part of it. To be there. I wanted to belong. But I know that I can’t. And so I try to capture it on film. I go there and film it every year, over and over, again and again. One day I will tell the story of a poor and sterile man who wants to replace San Sebastian. But more summers will have to pass before our hero will appear.

The Very Eye of Night
Director: Maya Deren
USA / 1959 / 15’ /16mm / B&W / sound
Known for her production in experimental and avant-garde cinema, Maya Deren's last completed film, The Very Eye of Night, carries Deren's aesthetic, freed from the bonds of time and space. It was made from 1952 to 1955 in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor, but it was not released until 1959 when the musical score by Teiji Ito was added. The entire film is projected as photographed in the negative. ~ David Lewis, All Movie Guide

Lichen  
Director: Lisa Jackson
Canada / 2019 / 12’ / 3D Macro / Color / English
Festivals: Toronto Images Festival (2019), Sundance (2020)
This stunning otherworldly short film takes a deep dive into lichen, a species that confounds scientists to this day. Shot in macro 3D, ​Lichen offers us a look at this remarkable life form and asks what we might learn from it. Ancient and diverse, both an individual and a community, lichens can live in the most extreme environments, including outer space. This meditative film bridges science and philosophy, and the words of lichenologist Trevor Goward illuminate the terrain in poetic and thought-provoking ways.

Due to the regulations that will be in effect on September 6, 2021, There is a mandatory to show proof  a current negative PCR test result and proof of full vaccination or recovery for attending the event.

Kundura Sahne, the interdisciplinary performance space of Beykoz Kundura, hosting the unique dance project “REVERT” on October 1; the premiere had been postponed due to the pandemic.

The site-specific performance is created  for Kundura Sahne by the dancer, choreographer and academic Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna;  the artist focuses on the primitive nature of the human body, their intelligence, and  atemporality with this interdisciplinary dance performance.

Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna  approached the body as a tool of conveying time, carrying and communicating; through the body, she focuses on the journey, the searching and the narrow bridge between the real and the surreal. “REVERT: Time Overrun” emerges from a dream that the artist had, means “getting rid of additions and returning to the initial structure, the primitive, the root”, where the word “revert” was the departure point and the performance is created during the pandemic through an integrated approach.

The performance conveys a knowledge, experience, and motivation of the whole within the layers of consciousness to the moment of now through the body, which stands between the past and the future, creating a new language of movement and an attitude on the journey towards the unknown.

EQUIPMENT WAIVER

Remote Istanbul is a play in which a group of city residents wear headphones and set off on a journey around Istanbul, guided by a synthetic sound. This encounter with artificial intelligence transforms the journey into a whole other experience. When we are guided by algorithms, whom exactly are we following? How can we make mutual decisions when we are all together? As we watch and are affected by one another, we make personal decisions, but can we still remain part of a group?

This journey begins at the specified meeting point on the Anatolian side. With Istanbul streets as the stage and participants often taking on the role of performers, we question our relationship with the city praxis. As we observe human behavior using artificial intelligence, we also grow accustomed to the sounds with each step. Throughout the journey, the viewer will be guided by various authentic sound designs such as binaural sound and film music. Just as the performance can become the urban fabric itself, it can also allow participants to form a wholly new relationship with the city…

We invite you on the Remote Istanbul journey, to rediscover the codes of Istanbul through brand-new sounds…

* We have taken health and safety measures against COVID-19 during this performance, and we would kindly like to remind our guests to adhere to these measures. Please click here for further details in our notice for guests.

Rimini Protokoll
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel founded the theater group Rimini Protokoll in 2000. Since then, they have formed different groups under this name to perform various works. They seek to create new perspectives on reality in each project they undertake, continuing to push the envelope with theater. Rimini Protokoll often develops the plays, performative installations, and radio plays it stages by collaborating with regular people who are experts in areas other than theater in their daily lives. Their works also regularly involve audience participation and playful use of technology. Guided by a dramaturgy that questions reality, their works transform venues and social structures into theatrical forms.

Curated by Berlin-based researcher and writer Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, the New Beginnings, We Hope selection will be at Kundura Cinema as of October 23. The selection, which is designed as a cinema exhibition consisting of four short films, will be presented to the audience in a cyclical screening format.
Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein's selection, which touches the various feelings that we long for in this difficult period when we are subject to radical changes due to the effects of the pandemic, also includes questions about the dualities that shape our way of thinking.
We listen to the inspiration behind the New Beginnings, We Hope program, which will bring the audience together with a viewing experience that leads to emotional stimulation, the films that make up the selection, and the flow of the films from the curator herself:

“This expanded cinema program emerges from the desire to again feel the pleasure of touch, movement, and nearness without denying the continued struggles and violence we are faced with. The five films were selected both for their aesthetic merits as well as the way they challenge binaries of life/death, violence/pleasure, and human/non-human. It is designed to shock viewers a bit, as well as move them; a sort of pleasant poke out of apathy and isolation.

We begin with Coyolxauhqui by the indigenous film collective Los Ingrávidos. The short film is bold and aggressive in its approach, featuring shaking percussion and trance-like images of the desert. Over the course of the film, we realize that something is not quite right in the landscape, with remnants of violence dotting it. The film is in reference to the Aztec story of the rape of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and is also meant to reflect on the prevelance of femicide in Mexico.

From this painful departure, we move to Pauline Curnier Jardin's short film Explosion Ma' Baby. This film documents the annual procession in honor of Saint Sebastian in which fireworks and confetti boom as babies are lifted up to be blessed, their soft and fragile bodies juxtaposed with a fanfare of fatherhood; men crushing in against one another as the camera deliriously spins through the crowd.

Maya Deren's The Very Eye of Night offers viewers a short respite from the strong and rhythmic sounds of the first two pieces. Deren's last completed film and one of her most ambitious, The Very Eye of Night was made in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor. It reflects Deren's continued interest in filming dance, as well as her desire, later in life, to completely untether her filmmaking from the constraints of plot and place.

The program ends with Lisa Jackson's Lichen. Shot in macro 3D, the film treats lichen with tender deference, celebrating it as a subjective organism with its own distinct life cycle and means of collective survival. The film serves to remind us of the vast timeline and interspecies company in which we exist.”

Coyolxauhqui  
Director: Colectivo Los Ingrávidos
Mexico / 2017 / 10’ /16mm / Colour/ Sound
Festivals: Cine de Morelia FF, Media City FF (2018), London Short Film Festival (2021)
COYOLXAUHQUI recasts the mythical dismemberment of the Aztec Moon goddess Coyolxauhqui by her brother Huitzilopochtli, the deity of war, the Sun and human sacrifice. The film is a poem of perception, one that unveils how contemporary Mexican femicide is linked to a patriarchal history with roots in deeper cultural constructs.

Explosion Ma Baby
Director: Pauline Curnier Jardin
Holland-Italy-France / 2017 / 9’ /Super 8 HD / Color / Mixed media installation
Festivals: IFFR, Amsterdam International Documentary FF, 25 FPS Festival (2017)
Now, come back here. Imagine how badly I fell in love with this. I despera- tely want to be part of it. To be there. I wanted to belong. But I know that I can’t. And so I try to capture it on film. I go there and film it every year, over and over, again and again. One day I will tell the story of a poor and sterile man who wants to replace San Sebastian. But more summers will have to pass before our hero will appear.

The Very Eye of Night
Director: Maya Deren
USA / 1959 / 15’ /16mm / B&W / sound
Known for her production in experimental and avant-garde cinema, Maya Deren's last completed film, The Very Eye of Night, carries Deren's aesthetic, freed from the bonds of time and space. It was made from 1952 to 1955 in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor, but it was not released until 1959 when the musical score by Teiji Ito was added. The entire film is projected as photographed in the negative. ~ David Lewis, All Movie Guide

Lichen  
Director: Lisa Jackson
Canada / 2019 / 12’ / 3D Macro / Color / English
Festivals: Toronto Images Festival (2019), Sundance (2020)
This stunning otherworldly short film takes a deep dive into lichen, a species that confounds scientists to this day. Shot in macro 3D, ​Lichen offers us a look at this remarkable life form and asks what we might learn from it. Ancient and diverse, both an individual and a community, lichens can live in the most extreme environments, including outer space. This meditative film bridges science and philosophy, and the words of lichenologist Trevor Goward illuminate the terrain in poetic and thought-provoking ways.

Due to the regulations that will be in effect on September 6, 2021, There is a mandatory to show proof  a current negative PCR test result and proof of full vaccination or recovery for attending the event.

Kundura Sahne, the interdisciplinary performance space of Beykoz Kundura, hosting the unique dance project “REVERT” on October 1; the premiere had been postponed due to the pandemic.

The site-specific performance is created  for Kundura Sahne by the dancer, choreographer and academic Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna;  the artist focuses on the primitive nature of the human body, their intelligence, and  atemporality with this interdisciplinary dance performance.

Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna  approached the body as a tool of conveying time, carrying and communicating; through the body, she focuses on the journey, the searching and the narrow bridge between the real and the surreal. “REVERT: Time Overrun” emerges from a dream that the artist had, means “getting rid of additions and returning to the initial structure, the primitive, the root”, where the word “revert” was the departure point and the performance is created during the pandemic through an integrated approach.

The performance conveys a knowledge, experience, and motivation of the whole within the layers of consciousness to the moment of now through the body, which stands between the past and the future, creating a new language of movement and an attitude on the journey towards the unknown.

Remote Istanbul is a play in which a group of city residents wear headphones and set off on a journey around Istanbul, guided by a synthetic sound. This encounter with artificial intelligence transforms the journey into a whole other experience. When we are guided by algorithms, whom exactly are we following? How can we make mutual decisions when we are all together? As we watch and are affected by one another, we make personal decisions, but can we still remain part of a group?

This journey begins at the specified meeting point on the Anatolian side. With Istanbul streets as the stage and participants often taking on the role of performers, we question our relationship with the city praxis. As we observe human behavior using artificial intelligence, we also grow accustomed to the sounds with each step. Throughout the journey, the viewer will be guided by various authentic sound designs such as binaural sound and film music. Just as the performance can become the urban fabric itself, it can also allow participants to form a wholly new relationship with the city…

We invite you on the Remote Istanbul journey, to rediscover the codes of Istanbul through brand-new sounds…

* We have taken health and safety measures against COVID-19 during this performance, and we would kindly like to remind our guests to adhere to these measures. Please click here for further details in our notice for guests.

Rimini Protokoll
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel founded the theater group Rimini Protokoll in 2000. Since then, they have formed different groups under this name to perform various works. They seek to create new perspectives on reality in each project they undertake, continuing to push the envelope with theater. Rimini Protokoll often develops the plays, performative installations, and radio plays it stages by collaborating with regular people who are experts in areas other than theater in their daily lives. Their works also regularly involve audience participation and playful use of technology. Guided by a dramaturgy that questions reality, their works transform venues and social structures into theatrical forms.

Due to the regulations that will be in effect on September 6, 2021, There is a mandatory to show proof  a current negative PCR test result and proof of full vaccination or recovery for attending the event.

Curated by Berlin-based researcher and writer Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein, the New Beginnings, We Hope selection will be at Kundura Cinema as of October 23. The selection, which is designed as a cinema exhibition consisting of four short films, will be presented to the audience in a cyclical screening format.
Pia Chakraverti-Wuerthwein's selection, which touches the various feelings that we long for in this difficult period when we are subject to radical changes due to the effects of the pandemic, also includes questions about the dualities that shape our way of thinking.
We listen to the inspiration behind the New Beginnings, We Hope program, which will bring the audience together with a viewing experience that leads to emotional stimulation, the films that make up the selection, and the flow of the films from the curator herself:

“This expanded cinema program emerges from the desire to again feel the pleasure of touch, movement, and nearness without denying the continued struggles and violence we are faced with. The five films were selected both for their aesthetic merits as well as the way they challenge binaries of life/death, violence/pleasure, and human/non-human. It is designed to shock viewers a bit, as well as move them; a sort of pleasant poke out of apathy and isolation.

We begin with Coyolxauhqui by the indigenous film collective Los Ingrávidos. The short film is bold and aggressive in its approach, featuring shaking percussion and trance-like images of the desert. Over the course of the film, we realize that something is not quite right in the landscape, with remnants of violence dotting it. The film is in reference to the Aztec story of the rape of the moon goddess Coyolxauhqui, and is also meant to reflect on the prevelance of femicide in Mexico.

From this painful departure, we move to Pauline Curnier Jardin's short film Explosion Ma' Baby. This film documents the annual procession in honor of Saint Sebastian in which fireworks and confetti boom as babies are lifted up to be blessed, their soft and fragile bodies juxtaposed with a fanfare of fatherhood; men crushing in against one another as the camera deliriously spins through the crowd.

Maya Deren's The Very Eye of Night offers viewers a short respite from the strong and rhythmic sounds of the first two pieces. Deren's last completed film and one of her most ambitious, The Very Eye of Night was made in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor. It reflects Deren's continued interest in filming dance, as well as her desire, later in life, to completely untether her filmmaking from the constraints of plot and place.

The program ends with Lisa Jackson's Lichen. Shot in macro 3D, the film treats lichen with tender deference, celebrating it as a subjective organism with its own distinct life cycle and means of collective survival. The film serves to remind us of the vast timeline and interspecies company in which we exist.”

Director: Colectivo Los Ingrávidos
Mexico / 2017 / 10’ /16mm / Colour/ Sound
Festivals: Cine de Morelia FF, Media City FF (2018), London Short Film Festival (2021)
COYOLXAUHQUI recasts the mythical dismemberment of the Aztec Moon goddess Coyolxauhqui by her brother Huitzilopochtli, the deity of war, the Sun and human sacrifice. The film is a poem of perception, one that unveils how contemporary Mexican femicide is linked to a patriarchal history with roots in deeper cultural constructs.

Explosion Ma Baby
Director: Pauline Curnier Jardin
Holland-Italy-France / 2017 / 9’ /Super 8 HD / Color / Mixed media installation
Festivals: IFFR, Amsterdam International Documentary FF, 25 FPS Festival (2017)
Now, come back here. Imagine how badly I fell in love with this. I despera- tely want to be part of it. To be there. I wanted to belong. But I know that I can’t. And so I try to capture it on film. I go there and film it every year, over and over, again and again. One day I will tell the story of a poor and sterile man who wants to replace San Sebastian. But more summers will have to pass before our hero will appear.

The Very Eye of Night
Director: Maya Deren
USA / 1959 / 15’ /16mm / B&W / sound
Known for her production in experimental and avant-garde cinema, Maya Deren's last completed film, The Very Eye of Night, carries Deren's aesthetic, freed from the bonds of time and space. It was made from 1952 to 1955 in collaboration with choreographer Antony Tudor, but it was not released until 1959 when the musical score by Teiji Ito was added. The entire film is projected as photographed in the negative. ~ David Lewis, All Movie Guide

Lichen  
Director: Lisa Jackson
Canada / 2019 / 12’ / 3D Macro / Color / English
Festivals: Toronto Images Festival (2019), Sundance (2020)
This stunning otherworldly short film takes a deep dive into lichen, a species that confounds scientists to this day. Shot in macro 3D, ​Lichen offers us a look at this remarkable life form and asks what we might learn from it. Ancient and diverse, both an individual and a community, lichens can live in the most extreme environments, including outer space. This meditative film bridges science and philosophy, and the words of lichenologist Trevor Goward illuminate the terrain in poetic and thought-provoking ways.

Due to the regulations that will be in effect on September 6, 2021, There is a mandatory to show proof  a current negative PCR test result and proof of full vaccination or recovery for attending the event.

The site-specific performance is created  for Kundura Sahne by the dancer, choreographer and academic Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna;  the artist focuses on the primitive nature of the human body, their intelligence, and  atemporality with this interdisciplinary dance performance.

Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna  approached the body as a tool of conveying time, carrying and communicating; through the body, she focuses on the journey, the searching and the narrow bridge between the real and the surreal. “REVERT: Time Overrun” emerges from a dream that the artist had, means “getting rid of additions and returning to the initial structure, the primitive, the root”, where the word “revert” was the departure point and the performance is created during the pandemic through an integrated approach.

The performance conveys a knowledge, experience, and motivation of the whole within the layers of consciousness to the moment of now through the body, which stands between the past and the future, creating a new language of movement and an attitude on the journey towards the unknown.

Tuğçe Ulugün Tuna is accompanied by Metin Kalaç on sound design and Utku Kara undertakes the light design in the production along with the performing of contemporary dancers Aybike İpekçi, Diren Ezgi Yıldızkan, Ekin Ançel, Ezgi Yaren Karademir, Furkan Yılmaz, Gizem Seçkin, Hilal Sibel Pekel, Umut Özdaloğlu, Yoseob Kim.

Remote Istanbul is a play in which a group of city residents wear headphones and set off on a journey around Istanbul, guided by a synthetic sound. This encounter with artificial intelligence transforms the journey into a whole other experience. When we are guided by algorithms, whom exactly are we following? How can we make mutual decisions when we are all together? As we watch and are affected by one another, we make personal decisions, but can we still remain part of a group?

This journey begins at the specified meeting point on the Anatolian side. With Istanbul streets as the stage and participants often taking on the role of performers, we question our relationship with the city praxis. As we observe human behavior using artificial intelligence, we also grow accustomed to the sounds with each step. Throughout the journey, the viewer will be guided by various authentic sound designs such as binaural sound and film music. Just as the performance can become the urban fabric itself, it can also allow participants to form a wholly new relationship with the city…

We invite you on the Remote Istanbul journey, to rediscover the codes of Istanbul through brand-new sounds…

Rimini Protokoll
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi, and Daniel Wetzel founded the theater group Rimini Protokoll in 2000. Since then, they have formed different groups under this name to perform various works. They seek to create new perspectives on reality in each project they undertake, continuing to push the envelope with theater. Rimini Protokoll often develops the plays, performative installations, and radio plays it stages by collaborating with regular people who are experts in areas other than theater in their daily lives. Their works also regularly involve audience participation and playful use of technology. Guided by a dramaturgy that questions reality, their works transform venues and social structures into theatrical forms.

World renowned handpan player and composer Manu Delago returns with a brand-new album and his biggest live show to date.

We invite you to the very first concert of Kundura Sahne and the first Istanbul performance of Manu Delago on November 13th!

Circadian (out 13th September via One Little Indian Records) takes the listener through the cycle of sleep stages, emulating REM, light sleep, deep sleep and an abrupt awakening. Delago was inspired by the concept of individual circadian rhythms, due in part to his own lack of sleep as an international touring musician with Björk, Olafur Arnalds, Cinematic Orchestra and Anoushka Shankar.

“Before I made this album I had a phase of very intense touring with multiple trips to five different continents, without a break for several months“ said Delago, explaining the nocturnal theme of the record.

“It literally felt like touring with four bands simultaneously and in my dreams the music and crews started to commingle. I found it interesting how my brain was trying to digest all these experiences during sleep hours. In fact, during REM sleep the brain is very creative. In that stressful touring period, I started to consciously appreciate sleep and how much it contributes to mastering any challenge.

”Manu Delago's previous release, the multi-award winning film Parasol Peak, was written to be performed and recorded on a mountain under extreme circumstances but the music was never played live in front of an audience. Delago states the whole expedition as a big lesson in team spirit and ensemble playing. For Circadian Delago put together a mew ensemble with some of his favourite musicians to make the album and live-show a unique sonic journey.

A departure from the Austrian musician’s revered electronic-leaning work in Silver Kobalt and Metromonk, Delago incorporated percussive instruments found on those worldwide tours – from places such as Vietnam, Russia, Turkey and Indonesia – with an aim to create an electronic-inspired album in an acoustic form. “I wanted to incorporate elements of the electronic music that influences me; I used clarinets and accordion like warm analog synthesizers, and added strings and trombone to give it an orchestral but yet very intimate character“ he explains.

line-up Istanbul show:
Manu Delago – Handpans & Drums
Isa Krz – Violin, Piano & Vocals
Christoph Pepe Auer – Woodwinds
Bernie Mallinger – Violin
Clemens Rofner – Bass
Chris Norz – Percussion

KUNDURA DEDEKTİFLERİ FABRİKA’DA!
Oyunlu Konservasyon ve Diorama Atölyesi

9-11 yaş grubu   |  Maksimum 12 çocuk katılımcı
Atölye Süresi: 3 saat

Beykoz Kundura’da her ayın ikinci Pazar günü gerçekleşen Kundura Dedektifleri Fabrika’da atölyesiyle Kundura’nın Hafızası’na çocuklarla birlikte çocukların gözünden bakıyoruz! Amaçlarından biri kültürel mirasın korunmasında farkındalık yaratmak olan Kundura Hafıza kapsamında kültürel miras alanında çocuk katılımını sağlamak ve çocukların bilgi dağarcığına tarihi yapı ve alanları korumanın önemini erkenden yerleştirebilmek için kurgulanan Kundura Dedektifleri Fabrika’da atölyesiyle 9-11 yaş aralığındaki tüm çocukları Beykoz Kundura’ya davet ediyoruz.

Çocukların deneyimini zenginleştirmek ve eğlenirken öğrenmelerini sağlamak için yaratılan Kundura Dedektifleri Fabrika’da atölyesi yarım saatlik “Kundura’nın Hafızası: Bir Fabrikaya Sığan” dünya sergi turuyla başlıyor. Çocuklara özel tasarlanmış sergi turunun ardından Hafıza Atölye’ye geçerek yaratıcı drama ve oyunlaştırma yöntemlerinden faydalanırken Beykoz Kundura Fabrikası’nı endüstri mirası yapan değerleri küçük dedektiflerle birlikte keşfediyoruz.

Sergi turu sonrasında atölyenin ilk kısmında neyi neden korumamız gerektiğini eğlenceli deneylerle araştırıyoruz. Sihirli kimya kâğıtları kullanarak kâğıtların ne kadar eski olduğunu anlıyor, paslanan metallerin arındırılarak eski hallerine nasıl döndüklerini görüyoruz. Atölyenin ikinci kısmında ise makine çarklarının enerjisinden film makinelerinin çarklarından saçılan ışıklara doğru heyecanlı ve duyarlı bir dönüşüm hikâyesi bizi bekliyor. Fabrikanın geçmişten bugüne değişimine baktığımız bir zaman tünelinden geçtikten sonra eski ve yeni hallerinin dioramalarını üretiyoruz.

Tüm deney malzemeleri ve diorama malzemelerinin Beykoz Kundura tarafından temin edildiği atölyelerden sonra çocukların öğrendiklerini atölye sonrasında da pekiştirmesi adına hazırlanan Kundura’dan Evime Kiti armağan ediliyor.

Çocuk kitabı yazarı ve eğitmen İdil Bilgin tarafından hazırlanan atölyeler Bilgin’in tasarlamış olduğu Duygu Odaklı Kültürel Mirası Koruma Eğitimi metodolojisi üzerinden kurgulandı. Bu yöntem disiplinlerarası ve nesne odaklı oyunlaştırma uygulamalarından oluşuyor. 4D öğrenme modeli olarak adlandırılan yöntem Duygu Odaklı-Deneyimsel-Duyusal-Disiplinlerarası başlıklarını kapsıyor.

Atölye biletinizi almadan önce etkinlik notları bölümünü okumayı unutmayın.
