Dengbêj in the Disco
Singing & Storytelling Performance
Dengbêj in the Disco-Bora Uluç

Dengbêj in the Disco blends traditional Kurdish singing with the story of a singer living in exile.
"Deng" means "sound" and "bêj" means "to tell" in Kurdish. But how do you tell a story when your voice is trapped in another language?
Singer Hêja Netirk and actress Sarina Panahideh share the stage, exploring what would happen if a woman became a professional dengbêj—a role traditionally reserved for men.
The performance unfolds on two levels: When the protagonist is in Kurdistan, the story is told through traditional Kurdish songs.
When the protagonist arrives in Germany, the focus shifts to Hêja's personal experiences.
Audience reaction
"When I saw the scene with the asylum application, I felt transported back to 20 years ago when I was in Lübeck. It was as if I were sitting in the chair myself, hearing the questions. But you remembered the questions I was asked back then better than I did myself."
