Turkland in Würzburg: A moving search for home and belonging
On November 10, 2026, the bilingual performance Turkland brings personal migration stories, cultural influences, and the universal question of home to the stage of the Dauthendey Hall in Falkenhaus. The theater project combines autobiographical storytelling, multimedia elements, and humorous moments into an intense event experience.
Between Germany and Turkey
The focus is on a woman who grows up in Germany and later returns to Turkey out of love – to the country from which she fled as a small child with her family. On her wedding day, she reflects on experiences as a migrant and re-migrant, personal relationships, and the clichés and contradictions of both cultures.
A personal story with universal power
Turkland is based on the autobiographical novel by Dilşad Budak-Sarıoğlu. The 70-minute multimedia reading performance addresses migration, identity, German-Turkish history, and belonging from an unusual perspective. The atmosphere in the audience thrives on the interplay between reflective passages, subtle humor, and touching moments.
Bilingual stage art and dialogue
Dilşad Budak-Sarıoğlu and Ilgıt Uçum create the performance under the direction of İrem Aydın. The piece is presented bilingually with German and Turkish surtitles. Afterwards, a moderated discussion with the audience is planned, providing space for exchange on identity, integration, and social cohesion.
A cultural evening with a special atmosphere
The Dauthendey Hall in Falkenhaus creates a concentrated setting for this directly told stage production. In the event planning, cultural encounter is combined with a clear target audience focus: Turkland is aimed at theater enthusiasts, individuals with biographical ties to Germany and Turkey, and anyone interested in exploring questions of home and belonging.
Conclusion: Turkland promises an intense theater evening with personal narrative power, bilingual stage art, and subsequent dialogue. Those who want to experience migration not just as a social issue but as a human experience will find a unique access here. Secure your ticket and experience the performance live in Würzburg.
