Istanboel | The Roots 
Istanbul, the end or the beginning of a new world? The city’s people feel a certain way of life slipping away, a story, a city. Is it a question of natural evolution or is it a violent, irreversible destruction? In his audiovisual performance, Emil Kuyumcuyan walks you through his complex and contradictory feelings. He shows Istanbul’s revolution through today’s clichés, but also through precious family videos from the 1960s, with the sounds of Larry Baker, Adrien Trybucki, and himself. Will Istanbul, city of the Greek, of the Romans and of the Ottomans, get a new life?
