Istanbul International Improvisational Dance Festival

In 2022 Markéta asked the composer Sokora Violetov if she could help her in making a soundscape of Markéta’s unconscious . Markéta sent Soko around 50 recorded sounds, ranging from her exboyfriend yelling at her, to the sound of Berlin’s public transportation announcements, to her favorite party songs. Soko masterfully mixed and composed the soundbites into a soundscape which Markéta heard for the first time during the performance, reacting in realtime to the sounds… some pleasant while others incredibly harsh to listen back to. The improvisation was performed on a ferry on the Bosphorus Strait in Istanbul, a waterway which serves as a natural boundary between Europe and Asia. This performance was created for the International Improvisational Dance Festival in Istanbul.
