The torture-playlist of the CIA, a playlist of western (pop)music, used as a tool to torture the prisoners of Guantánamo, played by traditional Pakistani musicians is creating the frame for a performative confrontation with the consequences of the „war on terror“ and Globalisation. A political music-performance, in cooperation between Pakistani and German artists, inspired by own research in Pakistan, as well as by the books Guantanamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi, Five years of my life by Murat Kurnaz and The CIA torture report. A shocking and moving mixture of pop music, tradition and cruelty.This project is part of round 5 of the International Coproduction Fund, year 2018.
