One of the numbers during the evening is a reading of one poem Nazim Hikmet wrote to Taranta Babu in Rome 1935. To give the performance a bit more context there will be an audiotrack of Mussolini&#8217;s &#8220;Vincere&#8221; speach in the beginning of the performance. The balance and timing needs to be sorted out. The vaults of the byzantine church echo with the transphonics of history.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the soundcheck:<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-70-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/mlkyto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1427\/2018\/08\/eirene.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/mlkyto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1427\/2018\/08\/eirene.mp3\">https:\/\/users.utu.fi\/mlkyto\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1427\/2018\/08\/eirene.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sultanahmet, midday in April.
