De wilde vieren in al zijn facetten met alle repressie, suppressie, tirannie, jij zelf, despotisme, verdringing.  

Een ‘oude wijze’ die evengoed leeft buiten de lineaire tijd. Dat wat onsterfelijkheid representeert. Zij die het bestaan vertegenwoordigt. 
Het is intuïtie, het is de vooruitziende, het is de scherpe luisteraar en fluistert in nachtelijke dromen. Het is niet alleen een zachte hand die je leidt, maar ook een kracht die je uitdaagt, die je test en wakker maakt. Het is het vuur van urgentie, de zachtheid van wijsheid, de veerkracht van de ziel. 

Ervaar de kracht van overleving en expressie van Melisa Diktaş. Een meeslepende solovoorstelling die de essentie van strijd, overleving en veerkracht belichaamt. Een oneindig gevecht, door een ontembaar wezen, verpakt in de ritmes van de Dahul, de drum die de ondergrond doet bewegen. 

ENGLISH

Celebrating the wild, in all its facets and dimensions, with all its repression, suppression, tyranny, despotism, and denial of self. The body bears a fragment of concealed memories and the present within.   An "ancient wisdom" that exists beyond linear time—what embodies immortality, what represents existence itself.  

It is intuition; it is the foresight; it is the keen listener and it whispers in nocturnal dreams. It is not only a gentle hand that leads you, but also a force that challenges you, tests you, and awakens you. It is the fire of urgency, the softness of wisdom, the resilience of the psyche.  

Experience the power of survival and expression in the solo performance of Melisa Diktaş. A visceral journey through struggle, resistance, and deep-rooted resilience. An unending battle — carried by an untamable being wrapped in the rhythms of the Dahul, the drum that stirs the ground beneath our feet.
