Dschinns-Von Fatma Aydemir Bühnenfassung von Yeşim Nela Keim Schaub, Alina Tammaro und Ensemble

In the organizer's words:

"Maybe these are the djinn. The truths that are always there, that are always in the room, whether you like it or not, but that you don't say in the hope that they will leave you alone." Four siblings travel from Germany to Turkey for their father's funeral. Not together, but each on their own. They have been fundamentally different in this family for a long time, perhaps they always have been. At the very least, they have all taken a different direction in their lives, with different attitudes, desires and fears. Through the journey, their pasts, their childhood and youth emerge and the path to their identities becomes visible.

"Dschinns" is about what it is like to lose one's father and the connection to one's origins. A group of young people from Stuttgart will perform on stage at JES and invite us into a space of remembrance, mourning and empowerment with "Dschinns". Their own post-migrant realities will become part of the production. We are working together with Yeşim Nela Keim Schaub (director of "Warum das Kind in der Polenta kocht") for the second time.
