“Kandaş and Kurtulmuş are spelled with a Ş. The name on my ID card is wrong.” Two Zurich residents with a Turkish migrant background embark on a journey between two (or perhaps no) homelands. In this story about the search for identity, identities are lost. No answers are provided; perhaps, for once, the right questions are simply being asked. In a world where racism dominates the debate as a macro-issue, and solutions are sought at a systemic or societal level, this performance creates space for the micro-questions facing the individual.

Ali Kandaş and Onur Kurtulmuş are both studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Acting at the Bern University of the Arts. They have already appeared in numerous productions outside the university context: Onur at the Schauspielhaus Zürich in My Heart is Full Of Na-Na-Na and Jetzt, Jetzt, Jetzt by Suna Gürler. Ali has been with the Schauspiel Studio at the Bühnen Bern since the 2025/26 season.

Getting there
The Winkelwiese Theatre is located in the listed Villa Tobler and is about 350 metres from the Haltestelle Kunsthaus. Two streets have to be crossed. The last 50 metres or so are on a paved road with a slight incline.
Wheelchair-accessible parking is available in the Hoch Promenade car park.
The main entrance is up two flights of stairs (three and five steps). To the right of the main entrance is a step-free side entrance that is only accessible when accompanied by staff. From here, a lift takes you to the foyer.

The box office is mobile and is not always in the same place. Due to protective measures (corona virus), glass panels are currently installed at the box office and bar.
The theatre hall and bar are accessible from the foyer via a permanently installed ramp. The space situation may change depending on the production.
There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet to the left of the lift.
