↪ FURTHER BIOGRAFIES
Born in the Bavarian haze of the nineties,
Derya Atakan studies opera singing in Berlin and Paris and emerges as an operatic performer uniting the forces of opera, punk, and the sounds of the Levant. Original compositions and opera references in her work serve as an invitation to collective metamorphosis.. Pathos meets irritation, slapstick meets seriousness, and dream meets reality. @derya.aaatkn
