Rameau à la Turque 
Travel, the further the better, and return with exotic souvenirs. When a new era began and the world suddenly became a lot smaller, Rameau rode a wave of orientalism in his Indes galantes. We meet his protagonists in Peru, in the savannah of North America, and in Istanbul, where Burak Özdemir invited the Ottoman baroque composer Tanburi Mustafa Çavus aboard his ship. The West meets the East, the East meets the West. Sounds like a fun trip, doesn’t it?
