THE REHEARSAL & THE PLAYBOOK critically examines the transforming expressive and choreographic mechanisms of authoritarian and populist movements. Taking Turkey as a point of departure, the project traces how authoritarian and populist dynamics reverberate across borders, shaping bodies, gestures, and collective imagination. Through performances, installations, and moving-image works, the programme stages encounters with the tensions between obedience and refusal, intimacy and control, solidarity, resistance, and confinement.
