General Information

The Sultan is the common denominator for pop fans from all cultures. Eastern and Western influences are combined through the artist's diverse music and entertainment projects.

The turban-wearing entertainer is represented in the main pop culture media channels: As a singer and influencer, comic figure and producer, “The Sultan” is turning into an established star with international cult potential.

Mission and Objectives

Our mission is to become the global leader in diversity & positive representation of modern-Oriental culture in music, media, live performance and film / cartoon.

The Sultan is a magic carpet ride to all cultures. It's a unique and independent pop music entertainment project with a
positive and humorous twist to build bridges and integrate eastern cultures with others.

The Sultan aims to be an ambassador of Oriental cultures in western media by blending Western trends within his music and visual content. By removing the misunderstandings and fear of cultures stigmatized by Western media, the Sultan project aims to create experiences that integrate Eastern values for positive representation and inspire more inclusivity.

Building a bridge between cultures via entertainment and solving diversity problems in the western media:
• Few media role models with oriental charm
• Image problem and poor positive representation of the Orient
• Little inclusion of oriental & Asian artists

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

The Sultan can represent Anna Lindh Foundation's interests in an entertaining way and interact as a media ambassador with continuous creative content creations, press releases and marketing. This is a unique way to reach a fresh and young audience of todays time!

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The Sultan's mission matches with the mission of the Anna Lindh Foundation. We are looking for a strong strategic and financial partner to pull together so we can reach our mission targets.

Fields of Activity
  1. Arts
General Information
The theaterwerkstatt hannover is one of the oldest independent theater groups in Germany. Since its founding in 1976, numerous theater productions have emerged, about half of them for children and young people. The theaterwerkstatt is leaded by a team of three. For each production the ensemble is temporarily extended by professional artists from different genres. In this way, the theater produces up to four productions a year, which are shown in Hanover and on tour. Quite a few of them find their reputation at festivals at home and abroad. The performances are shown in their own theater, in the culture centre ‘Kulturzentrum Pavillon’ (2 flexible stages / black box, with 90 and 110 seats in a atrium style). The theater is funded primarily by the city of Hanover, project-related by the state of the Lower Saxony and from various foundations. The budget varies between 150,000-200,000 € p.a.
Mission and Objectives

The theaterwerkstatt hannover offers with their aesthetically and highbrow productions lively theater experiences for children, adolescents and adults. In all productions the sensual experience of the content stands in the foreground, through the combination of language, movement, space, light and music.
The substantive decisions for each project are guided by the questions ‘What is our business, what motivates and excites us?’ The task that we face as a theater, is the compression of these questions in an open artistic process. The more freely this process can happen, the more clearer the theater can show new things, can connect the rational contemplation of our world with emotional knowledge and allow collaborative experience and viewing in the theater. A envision and understanding with all the senses, without getting stuck in the pure image - there are enough copies.
The role of the ensemble is crucial, it designs as a creative collective the content for the audience. In this theatre the actor is the creative performer. The spectator is active and alternates between seeing through the open process and fiction. In this ratio lays a profoundly democratic attitude that we want to maintain as a theater.

Main Projects / Activities

In addition to our own operation in Hanover, the theatre is internationally connected for years, with co-productions in Japan and Poland and many guest performances in Europe and Asia. From 2005 to 2009 the theaterwerkstatt hannover conceived and managed the european theater project "Babel, or we build a house" for the Goethe-Institut Nancy, Vilnius and Lisbon.
Since 2012, the theaterwerkstatt hannover expanded their international activities in the Arab region, -in the Middle East and North Africa. According to its own touring they organized jointly with the Cultural Center ‘Pavillon’ the  theater-meeting about the Arab Spring, in 2014 with the main focus on new era of the women "Aufbruch der Frauen".

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Since 2014, the theaterwerkstatt continuously collaborates with the Cultural Center ‘Pavillon’ and we offer under the label of "Theater in the Pavilion" an exciting place for independent theater. Together with the Cultural Centre, the theater offers ideal opportunities for performances, conferences and workshops.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

The theaterwerkstatt is preparing a cooperation with Israel / Palestine and in the following with Egypt. Besides our own theater work, we are looking forward to taking a deeper cultural policy discourse in the network.
