The Father, The Son And The Holy Feast

In November 2010 Sadettin K?rm?z?yüz made the biggest journey of his life so far. Together with his father he went on a pilgrimage, the Hadj, to Mecca, to continue the family’s tradition. With his father as guide, he is inaugurated in this century-old ritual. Drawing on the experiences of this striking journey, Sadettin K?rm?z?yüz presents a performance about fathers and sons, belief and disbelief, Abraham, Isaac, Mohammed, God and Allah. This performance offers a wry reflection on a holy road trip in which everything is true and anything goes.

The Father, the Son and the Holy Feast is the second performance of four in which Sadettin K?rm?z?yüz explores social issues of religion, double passports and migration. The current debates about multiculturalism and migration in the Netherlands and his personal situation as a son of a migrant form the foundation of his theatrical work.

‘K?rm?z?yüz energetically tells about the Hadj with his father, an intense confrontation with his roots…

K?rm?z?yüz is a great story teller. After you leave you have the feeling that you have been to Mecca yourself without knowing.’ Annette Embrechts, de Vokskrant
