CRIME OF PASSION is the new work by non-binary Berlin based artist and musician Anthony H\u00fcseyin. It examines femicide in opera, its historical roots, and its presence in our daily lives. Carmen, Salome and Violetta refuse to die again and again on stage. Instead, they reclaim their narratives, offering an ancestral, musical, and spiritual resistance. The trio dismantles the white, male, sexist, and racist gaze in high art while intervening in femicide cases, demanding accountability: Why do you kill me?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by H\u00fcseyin\u2019s own experience of preventing an attempted femicide while studying opera in Istanbul, the performance confronts how femicide is both romanticized and upheld by cultural and legal systems. It exposes the Crime of Passion<\/em> law – rooted in Napoleonic codes – and its enduring role in justifying violence until today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
