Digital U.S. premiere presented as part of PROTOTYPE
JANUARY 10-16, 2021; Free
21-year-old Halit Yozgat was assassinated in broad daylight, in his immigrant parents' internet cafe on APRIL 6, 2006 in Kassel, Germany. Five witnesses were present in the 77 square metre space when Halit was shot twice in the head. With his unconventional combination of sound art, electronics, and dark metal, Frost brilliantly and sensitively musicalizes the structural racism and institutional blindness that affects the country's immigrant communities.
In the middle of the rehearsal process, work on the world premiere of The Murder of Halit Yozgat had to be suspended due to COVID-19. Instead, Ben Frost, with Trevor Tweeten, resumed rehearsal and released a film about the project. The result is a unique cinematic portrait on the borderline between documentation and fiction - a chilling opera film about the reconstruction of a murder case.
