The idea is not to represent the struggles of these countries specifically, but to show the ability of the individual to create change in society. In this case, a deposed dictator sits as a citizen tells him the story of his own fall from power. Through a friend of mine who is a choreographer at the Alvin Ailey dance company in New York and the four dancers from Kardeş Türküler in Istanbul, we tried to convey this message through dance.Special thanks to Buse Yildirim, Pelin Opcin, and everyone at the Beykoz Shoe Factory for their generosity, and also to Fidi The Great.---------------------------------English (Translated from Creole)All the way homeYou thought it wouldn't be hardYou thought you were strong enoughYou thought you couldn't loseWithout lifting a fingerYou thought you could do as you likedAnd force the people to complyYou thought they would do as you sayBut too many resistedSo now you're shamed, you lost, you fellNow is the time for you to take your leaveTime’s up, you need to goYou thought yourself importantYou thought the people would love youThey don't want to see you here anymoreThey want you to go back from where you cameAll the way homeIf you look deep inside your heartYou will surely findThis task wasn't yours to handleYour ego made you stayDon't lie, you must be sad at nightWith all that has passedIt is not too late to leave it allJust start walkingAll the way homeYou can take a motorbikeYou can take a VespaYou can take a boatOr a HondaYou can even use your feetIf you want the time to meditateThe only thing we are askingIs for you to go homeSo now you're shamed, you lost, you fellNow is the time for you to take your leaveTime’s up, you need to goWe say this to help you get your life back togetherLeave with us what you can't doDon't force it, just find your pathGet home safeAhPlease do whatever you need toSo that we don't see you anymoreWe saw you too muchAhIt is not your misfortune we wantWe just don't want to see you anymoreWe saw you too muchwww.bokante.comwww.realworldrecords.comwww.groundupmusic.ne
