On 23 October with DJ Şeyda Kurt after the performance.
The sounds of breathing, panting, shouting and screaming develop into an obsessive prayer. An ensemble of twelve shirtless dancers, sporting brightly coloured trousers and equally vibrant wigs, transforms these noises into a delirious soundtrack. The performance increasingly resembles a ritual dance, an anarchic incantation, an ode to life, somewhere between madness and wisdom. «M» celebrates the community as a source of unity and comfort, while also acknowledging its narcotic effect.
