It will be weighing anchor in the ports of Istanbul and Marseilles, travelling the coasts of North Africa and Arabia, stopping off in Andalusia, Israel and Greece and bringing the poetry of the islands to our ears – with verse, music and dance., e.g. with Mohammed Bennis (Morocco), Abbas Beydoun (Lebanon), Yannis Stiggas (Greece), Küçük Iskender (Turkey), Hedva Harechavi (Israel), Nanni Balestrini (Italy) , Neşe Yaşin (Cyprus).
