SAHA supported the performance entitled “5 Person Bufet” by Deniz Gül at the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago.

"5 Person Bufet" was a multi-phase project that started out with a text Deniz Gül wrote to be performed by 5 people; was exhibited at Arter in 2011; and envisioned to be composed to incorporate a musical performance. In the text, Deniz Gül has opened a linguistic memory to the voices and performances of 5 characters embodied in 5 pieces of furniture, using words that she could remember from media, from the streets and from her inner voice.

The furniture of the "5 Person Bufet" installation (Vitrine, Closet, Safe, Coffin and a Door turned into a room) was lined up in the exhibition space to welcome the audience, to create a new 'outside' with their own 'inside' for those stepping in through half open doors.

​Deniz Gül developed the performative sound piece that five musicians and performers personified the characters. The artist  collaborated closely with the musicians Audrey Chen, Owen Davis, Carol Genetti, Frank Rosaly, and Katherine Young on the current phase of this ongoing project.
