Smuggled Tea Performance follows the two year journey of two artists from different corners of Turkey.
It is a story of being (an artist) or not being.
A story that wants to dance. A dance piece that refuses to tell a story.

Walkthrough: Intersections
Screening
May 28th, 2021 Beirut International Platform of Dance - Architecture of a Ruined Body
Walkthrough is a shared walk through the city, a flaneur experience across cities through a digital connection that makes a physical change somewhere else in the world. It explores the body as space, as part of the cityscape, through a real body that becomes an avatar for those who aren’t there. It reflects on the various shapes, faces, relations that make up the cityscape, embracing miracles of chance encounters.
Conceived and Performed by Cansu Pelin İşbilen and Fatih Gençkal
Graphic Design by Emre Yıldız
Technical Design by Ceren Kayalar
Following Performers: Serenay Oğuz and Mehmet Aydınol
