Company MEK (Switzerland)

For Kaltuk, himself the son of a Turkish politician, the new political climate in Switzerland has a direct impact on his personal life. The young, multinational and diverse ensemble tells from a very personal perspective of powerlessness in the face of politics, of being paralyzed when you can‘t connect, when you don‘t feel represented. It is about taking a stand. It‘s about the energies that arise when you politicize and get something moving. Fridays for Future shows that young people are absolutely political. Enough reason for Company MEK to be loud. Father Politics shows the dance individualities of the ensemble and bundles the energy and strength of the common appearance in powerful common choreographies. With high professionalism, coolness and authenticity MEK represents on stage the new powerful, young, diverse generation CHANGE.
