Melisa Diktaş

Met The Untamable Creature in a Flowered Dress

An endless battle, fought by an untamed creature in a flowered dress. Guided by the Dahul, the drum that makes the ground move. Together, stamping on the ground, they let it be known that she was, is, and always will be. Representing immortality. She who embodies existence.

We celebrate, fight, let ourselves be carried away, held back, rise, pass on, are conscious, unconscious, fed, feed, always keeping danger in sight. The oppressed, embodied in a body. What if you are eradicated, executed, and oppressed every day? What does something that is always in survival mode look like?

Experience the power of survival and expression in 'The Untamable Creature in a Flowered Dress' by the great mover, dancer Melisa Diktaş. An immersive performance that embodies the essence of struggle, survival, and resilience, wrapped in the rhythms of the Kurdish movement language.
