The Turkish writer Orhan Pamuk once wrote: ‘The Middle East and Europe look at each other as in a mirror and have constantly influenced each other, though neither wishes to admit it.’ Inspired by the accounts of explorers, the renowned kemenche player Emine Bostanci takes us on a musical journey from Europe to the Ottoman Empire and Persia – and back again.
Bostanci makes this journey together with the Turkish, Iranian and Dutch musicians of the Dareyn Ensemble. They use historical texts, a unique Ottoman kemenche and cutting-edge 4D sound. An added highlight: the performers take the audience on a journey through time and to various locations. This way, you experience how the music sounded in the 15th century at six ancient locations in Vienna, Istanbul and Isfahan.
