Dschinns

In the organizer's words:

Hüseyin is dead. His children Sevda, Ümit, Hakan and Peri travel to Turkey for his funeral. The four very different siblings mourn the loss of their father - and are confronted with their parents' silence, the gaps in their stories and the secrets that have long been part of their family. They come together and rummage through their own memories and those of their parents. The four want to break the silence and allow the audience to share their past, their thoughts and questions about their origins and their relationship to their family.

"Dschinns" gives space to unheard voices and deals with grief, post-migrant realities, Kurdish identity, the gaps in our narratives and what we don't want to or can't say in front of our parents. Yeşim Nela Keim Schaub brings Fatma Aydemir's novel "Dschinns" to the JES stage with four young people. Together they invite us into a space of remembrance, mourning and empowerment.
