about

KATRE characterizes both parents subject to the story as resilient. Resilience is the ability to recover from or adjust easily to misfortune or change. These people, even though being pushed around, can confront difficulties and eke out an existence with learning outcomes from challenges. In Anatolia, the Middle East, and other areas with war, violence, poverty, political persecution, starvation, etc., you may find many examples of resilient people. As novelist Yasar Kemal says, “they learn how to lose by being oppressed all the time like a rock under the sea and shine.” Stated differently, being defeated day after day, they come to know how to defeat by surviving, Similarly, Mascha Kaléko, a German poet, whose books were banned as “harmful and unwanted writings” by the National Socialists and emigrated to the United States in 1938, states “when the waves beat over me, I dove deeper to search for pearls”, which is a perfect expression of what resilience is (see Track Nr. 7).

Although the protagonists are from the bottom up resilient people, KATRE wants to show in this song and in the whole album consciously that after the escape this vital ability can no longer exist. As such, and in contrast to KATRE’s first album, Encounters, which is also a conceptual work and is about Existence & Existing, this music album is dark, gloomy, and pessimistic at its core. After all, what can be more difficult than taking the ability to survive from one person and still keeping it alive?
