We performed together for 3 hours with the Contemporary Dance Company “[Çıplak Ayaklar Kumpanyası](https://ciplakayaklar.com/)“. During the performance, musicians and dancers changed every hour and improvised. During this whole process, I wrote improvised poetry and it was watched on the screen simultaneously.
