Oyun
The Play
Nine peasant women living in Arslanköy, a mountain village in southern
Turkey, intend to write and perform a play based on their own life stories. Beyond the message they wanted to convey through
the theatre, I was interested in single individuals and the change they went through in the course of putting the play on
stage. To the casual observer nothing changed in their daily lives, they go on with their life struggle under difficult circumstances
as usual. However, I think, there has been an important and positive change in the way they stand in this struggle: they got
closer to themselves. (Pelin Esmer)
