Artist Leyla Yenirce invites you to ‘Landscapes that could not be more beautiful’. They are taken from the recently published essay Karl May by Enis Maci and Mazlum Nergiz. The two writers will start the evening with a reading from it: ‘All show, all truth.’

Leyla Yenirce and Noah Jinu-Moerbeck will follow with a sound performance. Noah on electric guitar and Leyla on flute and synthesiser will bring the backstage to the stage.

The concluding short film program, curated by Theresa George, shows the ‘Reverse side of the landscape’. Genre-loaded, five experimental films speak about how we evoke landscapes and perform within them.
