Description

Music makes you dream, music brings people together, music can save the world! Turkish singer and activist Gaye Su Akyol is convinced of this, and invites us to the fantastic, colorful, diverse planet of music with this pop-psychedelic space opera.A normal day like any other: Three strangers board Gaye Su Akyol's minibüs , unaware that the journey will take them … into space! More precisely: the minibüs makes a crash landing on the grey planet. Two-headed parrots, talking palm trees and human-like cyborgs populate this colourless and otherwise lifeless world. But what is this surreal universe all about? The YDP (Yeni Dünya Projesi / New World Project), a secret organization of high-ranking world politicians conducts experiments on the inhabitants of the grey planet – to rob them of their culture and most precious gift: their fantasy, in order to isolate them and remain in power. To make matters worse, a fight breaks out among the passengers – a queer student, a conservative religious man and a retired teacher. The inhabitants of the grey planet and their leader, UmaXT, warn Gaye Su Akyol and her companions: the homeworld is under threat from the YDP! Under pressure, the stranded must learn respect for each other. Only together can they repair the minibüs , and thus save the grey planet and themselves …

Post-punk, grunge, and psychedelic surf rock meet Turkish classical music and Anatolian folk tunes in Gaye Su Akyol’s inimitable style, countering oppression and injustice in the here and now with her powerfully poetic alternative vision.
