The four worlds in one of Irem Bekter
Montreal artist integrates all her baggage in "Vertige en 4 temps".
Overcoming fear, plunging into the unknown, uprooting, adapting, laying down roots again, from wanderings to hope, with all the joys and sorrows of life: Irem Bekter lived it at least four times in her life. Childhood in Turkey, adolescence in England, two decades in Argentina and now a life here: singer-dancer-creator is one of those who adopt the culture of the receiving country.
