زي اللیلة Zai el Lila

Caught between German bureaucracy—»Your documents don’t allow for an extension of your residence permit.«—and calls from her alarmed family—»Don’t even think about coming back to Iran!«—Scheherazade has only one weapon: Stories. Out of them, she builds a labyrinth into which she gradually lures the clerk at the Immigration Office.
Hanik Soleimani and Marianna Wicha combine the dramaturgy of One Thousand and One Nights with autofiction, original music inspired by Byzantine melodies, and the techniques of contemporary puppetry. A blend as wild as the stories have to be, which one tells to survive.
On 20.9., a concert by Jigaraki—Hanik Soleimani’s band featuring Elèni Mik and Nafsika Gkotzamani—will take place in the set of »Zai el Lila«.
