Sun 8 Sep ’24

Love passes through the stomach and settles in the belly. There it lives in silence. Sometimes warm, sometimes uncomfortable.

Göbek Aşkı is a physical theatre performance about leading a double life and the silent love languages in a muslim family. About the experience of that which cannot be said out loud. About being silent together and eating together. About unconditional love and misunderstanding. Trying to find each other in the grey area between rejection and acceptance. An ode to families who make quiet attempts at expressing connection, despite a lack of acceptance.
