Overwhelming press response for the performances in Berlin
Our performances at the Berlin Maxim Gorki Theater on the second weekend of February were widely applauded.
We played three sold-out evenings.
The press response for the whole project is overwhelming and to read below:
Dede Korkut started successfully
We are very happy about the successful premiere in Hellerau – European Center for the Arts Dresden.
Here are some recent press releases (in german language):
»A journey to the roots«
We are very pleased to hear that an article about our project was released in the feuilleton of the Süddeutsche Zeitung on January 3rd. The journalist and music critic Helmut Mauró had temporarily accompanied Marc Sinan and Markus Rindt on their research-journey through Kazakhstan in April 2013. Based on this trip, Mauró reports on this oil-rich territory, its people and the decline of the traditional music culture.
Rehearsals in Berlin
The second rehearsal week with the turkish choreographer Aydin Teker starts on Saturday December 7th and takes place on the rehearsal stage of the Maxim Gorki Theatre. Aydin Teker’s unconventional approach transforms soloists, such as the guitarist Marc Sinan, the singer Jelena Kuljić, the double-bass player Jun Kawasaki, the sub-contrabass flute player Sascha Friedl, into objects of choreographic intervention. A first run-through is planned on December 18th.
Rehearsals in Tashkent
On December 3rd and 4th Marc Sinan rehearses with the central Asian musicians Mehri Asadullayeva (Kamancheh) from Azerbaijan, Askar Soltangazin (Dombra) from Kazakhstan and Toir Kuziyev (Sato) from Uzbekistan in the event hall of the Goethe-Institut Tashkent.
