About

heartquake is a choreographic work about living on shaky ground, both metaphorically and literally. Inspired by Turkey's political and geographical realities, the piece focuses on the idea that "the land shapes the inhabitants' way of thinking" and evolves from a local ground into a global reflection on how we inhabit instability and precarity. How can you imagine a future while shakes constantly change what you dreamed of? In a land where people grow up hearing ancient cities have been destroyed by earthquakes, how can you build something when you know it'll eventually be demolished? When everything keeps falling apart, what is left other than each other's support and the endless effort of human beings? Corinth, the homeland of Sisyphus, is one of the most seismically active places in Europe.
