Divan Berlin–İstanbul


TransPositions between Poetry and Music

20. & 21. September 2018 20:30 PM Heimathafen Neukölln

Tickets & Location: www.heimathafen-neukoelln.de


About the event

Divan Berlin–İstanbul experiments with contemporary music and poetry: Free sounds of kanun, saz, and kemenche meet trombone, electronics, and double bass – German verses encounter Turkish ones – they improvise, mimic each other, and transform into new sonic creatures. Music and poetry that approach the world differently, attempt to mutually apprehend it in this shared Divan. The background beat is the pulse of Berlin and İstanbul, two global cities of words and sounds, urban sources for artists, and places of creation under disparate working conditions. Outstanding poets and soloists open new galaxies between two metropolises.
