SCENE OF ANXIETIES
WORLD DANCE AND JAZZ DAY SPECIAL PERFORMANCE
The city encompasses endless possibilities, swinging moods, beautiful and unpleasant sounds, and a variety of shapes and speeds. The artist who lives and creates here is at times exhilarated, at times languid, playful, suffering, or angry. They exist in all their openness and idiosyncrasy. They may want to seek refuge in the comfort of the ordinary or else run from it. “Scene of Anxieties” is the totality of these endless sensations: emotional rollercoasters, interrupted sleep, outrageous words, hopefulness, enthusiasm, and never-ending giggles. “Is there such a thing as a painless creative process? Does the artist learn to live with their anxieties or do they face them? Or else do they try to purge themselves of the anxieties? Which is right?” What you will witness on April 29 at Alan Kadıköy is not simply a concert where dance accompanies music or music accompanies dance. Rather, it is a space where they all come together, for each other’s sake.
The project, which premiered at the 32nd Akbank Jazz Festival, will meet the audience again as part of the April 29th World Dance Day and April 30th World Jazz Day celebrations.
