Performance
Theme series Common Struggles
waltraud 900 feat. Aylin Çelik
Is everyone sleeping so badly right now? Or is this simply the new normal? If the day belongs to reason, then the night belongs to restless thoughts, to the body that can't rest while the world is being renegotiated somewhere. When the night gives us no sleep, we long for someone who can control it.
NYX, the Greek goddess of the night, stands for the incomprehensible, the state between clarity and hallucination. She never sleeps. She lives in the depths of Hades. She is the only goddess who is feared even by Zeus.
Inspired by NYX, dancer Phaedra Pisimisi and musician Aylin Çelik bring the unspeakable to the stage: sleeplessness, waking dreams and the absurd beauty of nocturnal spirals of thought. They turn bodies into shadows, echo the voices of the night and also bring to life a babble of voices from 100 questions about the future - collected with children and senior citizens, i.e. from those who perhaps feel the most that nothing is safe here right now. NYX is an evening about insomnia and a ritual for everyone who is wondering what the fuck this is all about.
The performance will be followed by a cello concert with Aylin Çelik.
