Description
This anthology of six contemporary plays from Turkey explores global themes such as identity, poverty and displacement, shedding light on current cultural and political matters in the country.
The plays included are Solum, which examines questions of home and identity through physical research; As on the Page, which uses traditional performing techniques to reveal subtle cultural details about Eastern Turkey; Avalanche, a focus on events in a village where people live under fear and oppression; Eurydice's Cry, an adaptation of Sophocles' Antigone; For Rent, which tells the stories of outcast characters; and Home Sweet Home, which discusses displacement and the homeland.
The collection includes a comprehensive introduction that contextualises the plays within contemporary Turkey and examines the diverse aesthetic and stylistic characteristics of each playwright, making it an important resource for scholars of Turkey and theater and performance studies.
