In an open form, the production tells about those who live here in Germany. Since always. Or only for a short time. It is a story about those who have come. And about those who want to leave. And about those who neither feel at home here nor there. On a fictitious road trip through Cologne and Istanbul we encounter bizarre characters, small stories, big questions, fears and dreams and ourselves.
“Taksi to Istanbul” is a research work about the things that divide us and those which we have in common. About us and the others. About being here and being there. About now and then. About the experienced and the imagined.
"A great piece, for both German youths and for youths with a German-foreign background, for connecting cultures, for overcoming prejudices, for understanding one another. Huge compliment to the initiators, the creators and the performers; there was a justly-earned prolonged cheering applause." (Michael Cramer, Theater pur)
