We have been taught for centuries that belonging matters — to a geography, to a community, to an identity. If we wanted to say what that century-long question feels like in one shared language, what would we actually want to pass on?

The collective commissioned twelve composers from around the world to write for solo violin on the theme of belonging, with visuals made for the program. It became a collective act of listening and storytelling through sound.

A two-part series bringing Turkish makam instruments together with body percussion and Western instruments, in a dialogue between musical cultures and traditions. Audiences meet trans-cultural explorations in new music by composers whose paths intersect in the geography of Turkey, performed with the collective and invited musicians. The second edition was also live-streamed.

Named after the mythical land of eternal light, this interdisciplinary performance merges live music, voice, visuals and movement into a reflection on transformation and collective presence. It unfolds through layers of acoustic and electronic texture, bodily gesture and immersive visual storytelling — each performer carrying a different facet of the narrative, together tracing memory, displacement, and the fluid boundary between self and other.

The question it puts to the room is simple: what would you do if it happened to you?
