A glittering, glamorous music theatre rebellion by Gaye Su Akyol. Part of the Schall und Rausch Festival at the Komische Oper Berlin 2025.
Music makes you dream, music brings people together, music can save the world! Turkish singer and activist Gaye Su Akyol is convinced of this, and invites us to the fantastic, colorful, diverse planet of music with this pop-psychedelic space opera.
Post-punk, grunge, and psychedelic surf rock meet Turkish classical music and Anatolian folk tunes in Gaye Su Akyol’s inimitable style, countering oppression and injustice in the here and now with her powerfully poetic alternative vision.
