Münchner Kammerspieleproduction
“Biz – Wir –εμείς”, conceived as a three-part musical lecture-performance, forms the structural pillars of the evening. Two storytellers and five musicians from Munich bring together music, memories, and stories from Greek and Turkish life worlds. Between sound, storytelling, and personal history, a polyphonic space of listeningemerges. A musical fragment of past and present that enables encounter. This ensemble reflects on the lively artistic cooperation between Greek and Turkish people happening in Munich for decades. An atmosphere some people refer to as Munich being the capital of Greek-Turkish friendship.
