You are not a fish, after all

Mihran Tomasyan, from Çıplak Ayaklar Kumpanyası, reinterprets his performance “You are not a fish, after all” designed with an inspiration from the poem “Ahmet” by Oktay Rifat, for the first temporary installation of YAP Istanbul Modern: Young Architects Program “Sky Spotting Stop”.

Çıplak Ayaklar Kumpanyası is a project group founded in 2003 by dancers with different backgrounds and alternative point of views.

“You cross the water's path, put sandbags or set a wall before it, but whatever you do,
water finds a crack, and keeps flowing freely of course, in the journey, it faces many obstacles,
maybe even gets all muddy this is always the case, however, in this country,
“water killings” constantly take place.
This piece is the story of those who make the journey of water their own journey
and wander along all kinds of water.
A suitcase is opened, and things come out surely find their own cracks.”
