In this musical theater work, the Turkish singer and activist Gaye Su Akyol gathers people from all over the world and from different backgrounds in her dolmuş, her bus.
A Turkish trans woman, a German right-wing extremist, a conservative Istanbul resident, a Berlin activist, people from the USA, Russia or China ... Political disputes boil up in such a confined space, but when the bus breaks down on its way into space, everyone has to work together.
“Gaye Su Akyol is considered one of the most exciting young voices from Turkey. Her music features psychedelic surf guitars as well as Middle Eastern string sounds.”
Consistent Fantasy is Reality is the first music theater production by Turkish singer and activist Gaye Su Akyol. She is guided by the aspiration to use her creative work to counter oppression and injustice with a powerful poetic counter-reality and to show possibilities for a fairer and more beautiful world.
Post-punk, grunge and psychedelic surf rock meet Turkish classical music and Anatolian folk music in the style of Gaye Su Akyol to counter oppression and injustice in the here and now with a powerful poetic counter-reality! For the world premiere of Consistent Fantasy is Reality, the artist expands her sound spectrum and works together with classically trained orchestral musicians.
The pop-feminist aesthetic does not shy away from glitter, flashy colors and glamour, but consciously uses them and takes them seriously as artistic means.

Pinar Karabulut and Gaye Su Akyol are two artists who stand up against racist stereotypes and outdated role models and for a fairer and simply more beautiful world.
