Dialoge der Sprachlosigkeit

von xarpêt nach hannover nach dêrsim und kucax durch den euphrat und tigris durch die leine und ihme durch die spree die isar und themse durch alle flecken dieser erde an denen ich verweilte an denen ich verweilt blieb zieht das schweigen seine bahnen zieht die sprachsuche ihre routen auf den wegen liegen entweder steine und asphalt aus wort-unzulänglichkeiten irgendetwas zu beschreiben oder es fließen in ihnen lücken in alle richtungen bis die lücken zu löchern wurden bis die leerstellen alle sätze füllten und kein buchstabe mehr am straßenrand am ufer entlang gefunden werden kann.

We all encounter the search for the right words, whether in personal conversations, in public or when talking about political issues. Dîlan Z. Çapan approaches these questions from her perspective as an author and director, posing both universal and particular questions about language and the limits of what can be said: How does one describe disasters whose effects cannot actually be captured with language? What does it mean to miss a language that you were born with?

The evening will be accompanied by the musician Dîlan Top. The questions and feelings that Dîlan Z. Çapan deals with in her text resonate in Kurdish music. Many of these questions concern Kurds in particular: due to global oppression and the partial denial of their identity. Nevertheless, or precisely because of this, Kurdish culture, especially its music and dances as its most important forms of expression, is very much alive. So this evening is not least about the transformative power that emanates from the longing to express oneself, and about resilience and joy, no matter how sobering the circumstances.

Between language and silence, music and video, dialoge der sprachlosigkeit approaches the limits of what can be said and invites the audience to give space to their thoughts and feelings in language, music and in-between. A poetic evening about searching for and missing language.
