Description
As part of the exhibition “Carrying”, we invite you to experience dance as a living memory.
Dance is more than just a way to let go of everyday life: Kurdish dance represents community, resistance and storytelling. It’s a special opportunity to come together in a circle, learn to dance, discover the background stories and simply have fun together. Whether you’re a beginner, an advanced dancer, or someone with a disability – you’re all welcome. We’ll be dancing to rarely heard Kurdish music cassettes – relics of a time when the Kurdish language was banned and Kurdish music had to circulate in secret.
Singer Azadî blends traditional Kurdish sounds with contemporary music in the accompanying live performance. His songs reflect the richness of Kurdish culture, telling stories of love, longing, freedom, and resistance in Kurdistan.
Come join us, join the circle, and become part of a living story.
The workshop is led by Suzan Çakar, accompanied by singer Azadî and musician Newdar, who performs on the traditional string instruments tembûr and saz.
In collaboration with Habibi Kiosk / Münchner Kammerspiele
