Istanbul: An Evening Between Home, Longing, and Grand Stage Music
At the Fürth City Theatre, on June 6, 2026, at 7:30 PM, powerful storytelling meets the melancholic sound world of Sezen Aksu. Istanbul combines a play and a music evening into a tragicomic journey about migration, identity, and belonging – performed as a perspective shift between Fürth and the world metropolis Istanbul.

A Story with Heartbeat
The evening tells the story of Klaus Gruber, who goes to Istanbul as a guest worker in the early 1960s, while his wife Luise and daughter remain in Fürth. From this private fate, a multifaceted portrait emerges about feeling foreign, arriving, and the question of whether home is truly tied to a place. The German version, the music of Sezen Aksu, and the clear focus on the Turkish community give the material special relevance.

Sezen Aksu as an Emotional Resonance Space
The songs of Sezen Aksu, described as the queen of Turkish pop, weave a fine thread over the action. Her melancholic melodies give the production color, depth, and breath; it is here that the concert experience unfolds in theatre format: between soft undertones, longing motifs, and a live atmosphere that carries the evening musically.
