Calling Back the Nature, 2020
Live Performance for Performistanbul
Diren Demir //
Kulning or animal herding call is a medieval form of Scandinavian singing often used to call livestock down from inaccessible mountain pastures. In this performance, Diren transforms and re-interprets this ancient herding call by recalling the power of nature from the rooftop.
Through this call out which shines a light on an old celebration, Diren stages a vocal performance to appeal to animals that have taken over the deserted streets as the earth lay fallow these days.
