ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Welcome to the theatre of your mind
The next minutes you will see and feel things you already have
It's essential that you concentrate, for it is you who will make the images
Close your eyes and try to imagine

Red

Green

Blue
 
You’re in a space where everything is white

You slowly turn around 

In a distance you recognize your mother

She’s gently smiling at you

You slowly walk towards her

She is looking younger

You can see now that she’s pregnant
 
You come even closer

And you look carefully to her face

You see parts of yourself in her

Her eyes

Her nose

The way her hair looks

The way she is standing there
 
You gently move your hands towards her hands

You feel the texture of her hands

You smell how she smells

How her clothes smell

Red

Green 

Blue
 
You're back in the white space

Somebody new entered the space
 
You recognize your father now

You look how he is standing, smiling

You walk towards him 

You hug him

You carefully sense the grip and the texture of that hug

Then again you see how he can look when he looks serious

You smell his typical everyday smell
 
You slowly walk backwards and see your parents stand next to each other

Slowly the image fades out
 
All of a sudden 

You’re way younger

You’re in the very first memory you have

Try to recreate the environment

Try to feel how you felt

Try to smell what you smelled

Try to hear what you heard

Try to be who you were

Zihninde Tiyatro #2: RETROSPECTIVE - Live on Açık Radyo in Istanbul on 28/02/2013

The first part of Zihninde Tyatro (Theatre of Your Mind) Live on Açık Radyo in Istanbul on 26/02/2013 with the voice of Evin Zorba.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Welcome to the theatre of your mind
The next minutes you will see and feel things you already have
It's essential that you concentrate, for it is you who will make the images
Close your eyes and try to imagine

Complete darkness

Total emptiness

Imagine

A little small dot in the middle of this darkness

Slowly the dot becomes bigger

White slowly takes over the darkness

When everything is white 

You start feeling very, very cold 

You are now standing in a white space without any reference

You can't move and you can’t breathe

All of a sudden you feel floating warm water over your head 

The heat slowly slides down your body

You feel the heat on your head, your shoulders, your middle and your legs

You have goose bumps

But the heat intensifies

Because you are standing in front of a big fire now

Everywhere you look, there are flames

You listen how the fire sounds

You look at the texture of the flames while you keep getting warmer and warmer and warmer

All of a sudden you see an escape route where there is no fire

Adrenaline builds up and you run as fast as you can through the path in between the flames

You run away from the flames and you leave them behind you

But the room is shut down with walls

You put your hands against the wall and start pushing as hard as you can

While you are pushing, you can feel the cool surface of the wall on the front of your body

But the heat on your back is unbearable

You push even harder and you feel the wall slowly moving 

When finally the wall comes down, you're alone on a beach

You feel the texture of the sand underneath your bare feet

You feel the cool wind on your body

And you deeply breathe in and out

You look at the waves

When you watch the waves intensely, you calm down

All stress is gone and total relaxation takes over

The infinite up and down of the waves hypnotizes you

The water attracts you

You slowly walk towards the water

In the beginning the water feels cold at your toes

But you continue to go in

With your feet

With your calves 

With your knees

With your middle

With your chest

And finally with your head

You float in the water for an undefined time

The color of the water changes

Blue

Gray

Brown

Red

Blue

The stream intensifies and you see now that you're floating in between two clusters of earth

Imagine 

Floating on all the water of the world

Imagine

Floating without any water

Imagine

Floating

Imagine

The third part of Zihninde Tiyatro (Theatre of Your Mind) Live on Açık Radyo in Istanbul on 05/03/2013 with the voice of Evin Zorba.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Welcome to the theatre of your mind
The next minutes you will see and feel things you already have
It's essential that you concentrate, for it is you who will make the images
Close your eyes and try to imagine

You are sitting in a room

Choose a different one from the room you have now

Make the room

Red

Green

Blue

White

Black

In the room, a light bulb is hanging above your head

The light bulb slowly starts moving

It is slowly turning in circles 

If you look down

You see your shadow moving 

Slowly the years pass by

As if the sun was a light bulb

You slowly feel time slip by

You feel changes to your body

You feel the disintegration

You feel the enhancements

It's ten years from now

And you changed

Imagine what happened in these ten years

Imagine

Things you learned

Things you noticed

Things you enjoyed

Things you found out

Things you achieved

Things you created

Things you left behind

Things you destroyed

Things you lost

Things you gained

You're back in the room

The light bulb stopped moving and is flickering

You see now that the walls around you are ruptured

The paint came of and you see a lot of cracks on the walls

It's 30 years from now

How old are you now?

You think about who you are now

Who you will be

Who you used to be

Imagine the distance from my red lips to the microphone

Imagine the room I'm in

Imagine me talking to you 

In the ether 

Under the ground 

On a mountain 

At your home

Imagine

The distance from my red lips to your ears

Imagine the distance from the microphone to your sound system

Imagine the invisibility of the radio waves between us

Imagine this message going from my microphone to random places all over Istanbul

All you have, is my voice

I showed you personal things

Emotional things 

Forgotten things

Your image of me is constructed and exists only in your head

Do you trust me?
