This event is part of the PANDAwomen 2025 Festival.
PANDAwomen closes its 2025 edition with a vibrant night of Turkish voices — curated around the interplay of sound, gesture, memory, and reimagination. The evening begins with a warm and intimate set by musician and curator Güley Alagöz, and continues into multidisciplinary territories with İrem Nalça’s performative take on shadow and identity. Pina Berlin fuses jazz and old Turkish songs into an urban fantasy of 1990s Istanbul. Finally, Bîdar blends jazz-pop, soul, and electronic textures into an intimate yet energetic sound.
Programme:
Singer, guitarist, and event curator Güley Alagöz opens the evening with a set rooted in jazzy and turkish melodies — drawing on classical guitar, integrating dark vocals and spheric textures into her music.
Performance
Multidisciplinary artist İrem Nalça explores the theme of shadow — both literal and metaphorical — in a piece inspired by the traditional Turkish shadow theatre Karagöz. Her performance combines movement, text, and visual cues to tell a story of presence and absence.
“What if Norah Jones and Led Zeppelin collaborated in 1990s Istanbul?” This is the playful, poetic question behind Pina Berlin’s work — a hybrid of song, improvisation, and physical performance that bridges nostalgia and invention.
Performing in Turkish and English, she presents songs like First Trip, Uzak, Sarmaşık and Smokin’. As a self-producing woman artist, she brings a fiercely independent and expressive voice to the stage.
