Heim - A Story of Migration.

"Heim: A Migration Story" - A Play.

Sirkeci railway station...

Men waiting to board the train...

They had wooden suitcases in their hands and caps on their heads...

Mothers, sisters, wives, women... all with tears in their eyes.

The piercing whistles of the trains that will be departing soon...

Tearful goodbyes, silent eyes staring straight ahead...

The desperate glances cast after the men as they boarded the train...

The relentless sound of a train disappearing into the distance...

Screams, shouts, and cries...

Men waving goodbye from the windows as they head towards the unknown...

The story of the Turkish workers who went to Germany in the 1960s begins right here, at the Sirkeci Train Station.

"HEIM – A Migration Story" tells this journey through the story of Kemal, one of the people who boarded the train. You will witness a particular era as you listen to Kemal's memories, which are sometimes poignant and sometimes humorous, as he unexpectedly finds himself on his way to Germany.

Our story contains pain, sadness, and longing. But most importantly, it contains love for our homeland.
