trans-

trans— meaning through, diagonally, across, beyond, over… The trans— performance combines scenarios from autobiographical reference taken from caner teker’s personal experience as a German Turk. Among those are the Istanbul barbers’ rituals, movement research on Zeybek and Horn, two forms of Turkish dance, and the playing of the “gaida” bagpipes. In the orange glow of the sodium vapour lamps, caner teker plows a diagonal path through rituals and somato-political self-destruction.
