"The discovery is immediate…"

The theatre group Tiyatro Oyunevi and Mahir Gunsiray from Turkey have just shown me – apart from the tought provoking and tragicomic performance Waiting… - a new interesting performance space in Gothenburg. A theatrical space where other languages can be spoken which I do not have to understand to embrace the performance. We can pass national boarders and recognise ourselves in ideas that concern ageing, emigration, racism, immigration and identity crisis. Once again the festival has found the right place for the performance. The church café, with simple tables and chairs, a closed room where the rest of the world is left outside for a while, comes very close to the actors as well as the audience.
