The “Kara Deniz” program highlights the rich musical traditions of the Crimean Tatars, blending Eastern influences with virtuosic improvisations. Organized by the Ateliers d’ethnomusicologie and the AMR, and supported by the City of Geneva and the Fonds culturel Sud, this concert is part of the Mysteries of the Balkans Festival. Artists Enver Izmaylov, Sergiu Popa, Saddam Novruzbayov, Noémy B, Ayder Araunshyrov, and Ersoj Kazimov will perform to capture and convey the vibrant spirit of this musical culture.
Pop energy, raw intensity, a touch of animality, and playful shifts in force. With live music and dancers moving around the audience, the beat spreads—visceral and physical. La Tendresse du ventre de la baleine explores the tension between individuality and collectivity, between identity, intimate desires, and the need to belong.
