NACHTEULEN / KUNDÊ ŞEVÊ is a Kurdish-German production for people aged 4 and over about sleeping, dreaming and the night. Together with children from Altona, rituals, worries and fantasies about falling asleep were explored. The result is a poetic, multilingual play in German and Kurdish spoken language that poses questions: What keeps us awake? Who does sleep belong to? The intercultural ensemble offers identification opportunities for non-white children and invites them into an atmospheric world around a large bed – a place that transforms, connects and welcomes everyone. Music, language and images interweave to create a sensory experience for everyone, regardless of origin or language. NACHTEULEN / KUNDÊ ŞEVÊ celebrates diversity, quietly tells of the political and creates space for new perspectives – for children and adults alike.

Gelo tu ji xewê hez dikî? Ew tiştê ku carna xewa te diherimîne çi ye? Û ma gelo ev Xew kî ye ku carna tê, carna nayê? Lîstika şanoyê NACHTEULEN/KUNDÊ ŞEVÊ li ser van pirsen disekine ku bi şevê û xewê re eleqedar in. Ev lîstik ji bo wan kesan e ku dikarin hertim û li her derê rakevin. Ji bo wan kesan e ku divê dûr û dirêj li benda xewa xwe bimînin. Ji bo wan kesan e ku xewa wan geh tê geh diçe. Û ji bo hemû kesên din e.
