Durrës

Under the Azure is an exhibition paying tribute to the Mediterranean Sea, to the imagery it evokes, to the awe it inspires, and to the ancient and contemporary myths associated with it.

Liman is the exceptional meeting of 3 great musicians from the current Turkish scene: Cem Yildiz, Ramazan Sesler and Ismail Pesluk. Together, they propose a veritable ‘electro-traditional’ exploration based on the rich heritage of Turkish folk music, from Istanbul to the shores of the Black Sea, via the valleys of Anatolia and the Aegean coast.

All three soloists are specialists in their fields: Marine Sablonnière in medieval music, Henri Tournier in North Indian music, and Isabelle Courroy in the pastoral music of the Balkans and Anatolia, deploying the concept of oblique music that brings together music of creation and tradition. The result is a conversation that links times and places, genres and aesthetics. To the audience's delight, their joyful, multi-faceted music takes us beyond the boundaries of time and space.

Curated by Albanian filmmaker Iris Elezi, Silent Mediterranean offers a rare cine-concert immersive experience featuring unique hand-tinted silent film travelogues from the Mediterranean region (1910–1927).
