TRAUTES HEIM GLUCK ALLEIN

CONCEPT · CHOREOGRAPHY· TEXT

RADIALSYSTEM GERMANY, 2019

Home sweet home, is a solo performance shaped around the ritual of the rakı table; a place where intimacy, confession, and politics intertwine, where he simple act of sharing a drink becomes a reflection on displacement.

„On an empty stage, she prepares a rakı picnic: meze dishes, Turkish songs, fragments of conversation, phone calls to her mother, memories addressed to an imagined companion who does not exist. The rakı glass never leaves her hand. It travels with her into dance, becoming a fragile extension of the body, a vessel of longing, ritual, and loss.

The performance moves between storytelling and contemporary dance, tenderness and absurdity, private nostalgia and collective political weight. The rakı table becomes more than a cultural reference: it becomes a space of survival, where friendship, homeland, and resistance are remembered through gesture.“

Home sweet home is a story of loneliness, migration, and the impossible desire to recreate intimacy in limbo, carrying the past carefully, like a glass that must not fall.
