Serdi

27.01.26 — 24.02.26

The inspiring story of someone who, despite a life without possessions, transforms his voice into a home and liberates themselves by learning beatboxing in the perfect acoustics of their isolation cell.

Serdi tells the story of actor and beatboxer Serdi Faki Alici. As an orphan, moving from institution to institution and from school to juvenile detention, Serdi made himself a promise. He taught himself beatboxing. He trained until he could do it. The acoustics of solitary confinement proved perfect for refining his technique.

Serdi shows how a person's voice can become a weapon. How a rootless life, threatening to slip away, suddenly regained its footing by disciplining the voice. How the power of sound and composition finally made it possible to communicate with others.

The performance SERDI  is not only a journey through a series of institutions, diverse forms of social injustice and violence, but also a place to end the endless search for love and affirmation.

Theatre as a place to engage with demons of the past and ghosts of the present. A voice as a weapon that gets rid of the need to please once and for all.
