THE SECOND SURPRISE OF THE 29TH ISTANBUL THEATRE FESTIVAL: BİZ KİMİZ? (WHO ARE WE?)

 

Described by Le Monde as "bringing resistance in the face of despair and renunciation to the stage,"Biz Kimiz?” (Who Are We?) is a show that raises questions about group belonging, individuality, and space.

"We are the winners. What will we change now?" The French-Catalan company Baro d'evel explores this question, bringing together dancers, musicians, actors, acrobats, ceramicists, and clowns in an ecological ceremony on stage. "Biz Kimiz?", which premiered to great acclaim at the Avignon Festival in 2024, features scenes that oscillate between harmony and chaos, hope and despair, dream and reality, unfolding at a dizzying pace, yet the audience's attention never wavers. The company approaches every venue as a new home, preparing to greet the Istanbul Theatre Festival audience with great hospitality and prepares for special surprises for Istanbul. It will be held on October 22-23, with the support of the High Contribution Venue Sponsor, Zorlu Performing Arts Center, and the valuable collaboration of the French Cultural Center in Istanbul.
