Göksu Kunak opens the season with the crash performance “Innocence”

By the time the car wreckage lying on the stage is used that evening, their story has already been told. The queer performer Göksu Kunak stands in a tight, black leather dress in front of a large image of flames that repeatedly changed from stillness to flickering, and reads the course of the explosive events from a sheet of paper in a Siri voice as soft as cotton wool. And slowly her strangely disparate text blocks from historical backgrounds and cultural-theoretical associations build up an accident that happened thirty years ago in Susurluk in northern Turkey and shook the foundations of (not only) Turkish democracy.
