“I open the door. The tear gas has dispersed, the street is quiet. Someone’s sitting on the curb opposite. My stinging eyes are half open. I can’t see properly. I walk toward her. I reach out my hand. Where are you?”

Umut and Janina meet and fall in love in Istanbul, where rebellion simmers amongst the queer and displaced youth. Using video recordings and phone calls to fight against physical and emotional distance, Umut is caught between the momentum of sociopolitical change at home and the promise of a quieter life in Berlin with Janina. By turns explosive and intimate, WILL YOU COME WITH ME? explores the chaos and complexities of living through an uprising with generosity, love, and tenderness, as only live theatre can do.
