GalataPerform

An Independent Theatre Space That Has the New…

GalataPerform was founded as an independent theatre space on the first floor of a historical apartment in Galata, in 2003. GalataPerform, which was found by Yeşim Özsoy and has carried out many projects and plays such as the Visibility Project (1-8), New Text Project and Festival (1-8), has developed a mission to create an independent space open to new texts and directors since 2012. This way, it gained a structure that continues to produce its own plays and projects, while also functioning as a production and publishing house.
