Gazino Altınova

Gazino Altınova, directed by İdil Üner, transforms the ballroom at Thalia Gaußstraße into a magical, musical location. And the audience is invited to come with us on a journey through time, through the years before and after the arrival of the first generation of so-called »Guest workers« in their new »homeland« of Germany.

Experiences and memories are evoked by the music that was playing at the time. In this retrospective, Gazino Altınova tries to capture our past and present, and even our future. The evening is based on the questions: »What music were you listening to at the time you arrived in Germany?« and »Which music made you happy and which songs allayed your homesickness?«
