Two narrators. A ferrywoman at the lagoon of Anzali, at the Caspian Sea. A guide to the Wadden Sea on the North Sea. Both tell in monologues about their dreams and fantasies and about figures they imagine. Both are more and more concerned with the question of whether they themselves are fantasy products of another person and wonder how and whether they can answer this question. At the same time, the protagonists search for the creator of a timeless and spaceless "melody" that has burned itself into their heads.

"Tales from the Lagoon" is a bilingual and intercultural music theatre project produced in Germany and Iran and performed in Tehran and Berlin. This project, in which German and Iranian artists are involved, is also concerned with the question of how linguistic-musical boundaries can be overcome and what artistic potential can be released in the process.

In this project, music, text and performance as independent entities preserve their character. The music does not underline the text, the acting performance should not only present the text, the language should not only convey contents, but also exhaust its musical potentials. Each of these disciplines tells its own story in its own way, and yet they should enter into dialogue with each other and merge into a new synthesis.
