For a free Turkey, finally!

On the arrest and trial of Ekrem Imamoglu on April 11 Round tables on 9. and 15.4.

A lot has happened in Turkey since we performed HAYDAR TANZ/ HAYARD’IN DANSI – from February 2024 and now again from February to the end of April 2025. Our play combines the fate of the earthquake victim Dr. Mehmet Yildirim with the culture and music of the Alevis and names the unscrupulous power politics of Erdogan’s government. His violent regime now appears to be collapsing, with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets since the arrest of Istanbul mayor Imamoglu on March 19. The police used tear gas, rubber bullets and water cannons against the people and thousands were arrested. But even former Erdogan supporters seem to have joined in. How courageous: to raise your voice for a finally liberated and democratic country despite all the violence!
As a sign of our support, we are offering talks with the artists of Haydar on April 9 and April 15 after the performances, during which you will gain very personal and concrete insights into the current situation and into the experiences of the Turkish artists involved. On April 26 we invite artists who have fled from Turkey to Berlin.
PS: This note from the Federal Foreign Office shows the force with which Erdogan is acting and that this can also affect Germans: “Be aware that expressions of opinion and actions taken in Germany, such as signing petitions with Kurdish concerns, could be perceived as critical of the government in Turkey and could therefore lead to criminal prosecution there. The same applies to statements critical of the government on social media and the mere sharing or liking of someone else’s post.” Non-public comments could also be forwarded to Turkish law enforcement authorities through “anonymous denunciation”.

Laura Hörold hands over management of the NKO

After 12 years on the board of directors of the NKO, Laura Hörold handed over the management to Marta Hewelt on July 1.

The theater studies graduate joined the Neukölln Opera in 2011 after working as a freelance production manager. In addition to her actual work, she enriched the NKO’s productions through her diverse contacts in the independent scene. Through her work in the management team, the Neuköllner Oper has not only maintained its reputation as a popular venue for artists and audiences alike, but has also joined forward-looking networks such as the Federal Cultural Foundation’s Zero Climate Neutral Art and Culture Projects project. We wish her all the best for her future career!

Mourning the death of Luca Schaub

The Neuköllner Oper mourns the loss of Luca Schaub, who died far too young on August 2 after a short, serious illness at the age of just 36.

After graduating from Graz University of the Arts, the actor was involved in numerous productions as a member of the Berliner Ensemble from 2013 to 2017, including productions by Leander Haußmann, Robert Wilson and Claus Peymann.

He then worked as a freelance actor.

In 2022, Luca was engaged at the NKO for the first time: With his unmistakable imagination, creativity and humor, he embodied the GDR star Dean Reed in IRON CURTAIN MAN. Most recently, he played the role of “Gustl” in LISAS LAND DES LÄCHELNS at our theater at the beginning of the year.

Luca touched us on and off stage, inspired us and made us laugh.

We are shocked and stunned by the loss of our esteemed colleague and our thoughts are with his wife, family and friends.

In gratitude and mourning,

the entire team of the Neuköllner Oper
