The name on my ID is wrong.» Two Zurich residents with Turkish migration background embark on a journey between two (or even no) homelands. In this story about finding identity, identities get lost. No answers are provided, perhaps just the right questions. In a world where racism dominates macro-level discussions and solutions are sought at the system or societal level, this performance creates space for micro-level questions directed at the individual. Ideals and goals matter, but so does reality. «Piss off back to your shitty country!» – said directly to your face. And now what? Ali Kandaş and Onur Kurtulmuş both study Acting in the Bachelor's programme at the Bern University of the Arts. They have already appeared in numerous productions outside the university context: Onur at Schauspielhaus Zürich in My Heart is Full Of Na-Na-Na and Jetzt, Jetzt, Jetzt by Suna Gürler. Since the 2025/26 season, Ali has been at the Schauspiel Studio of the Bühnen Bern.
