QueerBerg Collective Nowruz Cabaret:

QueerBerg Collective return to SİNEMA TRANSTOPIA for Nowrouz celebrations with a twist: “At Nowrouz, as spring’s renewal gathers us around the fire in light and warmth, the davul — a powerful double-headed drum — and the zurna — a piercing double-reed wind instrument — come together as one of the oldest musical pairings of Anatolian and SWANA folk culture, traditionally leading dances like Halay with hypnotic rhythm and soaring melody.

Get ready for a special evening where we celebrate coming together hand in hand, dancing through the night to the unmistakable sound of davul and zurna. Queers deserve the most vibrant Nowruz celebration — full of fire, music, joy, and community — and we are bringing exactly that energy to the floor.” (Prince Emrah)
