Doğukan Korkmaz’s play, written in the New Text Workshops and included in the festival selection, invites its audience to travel to different realities in an episodic style in a fairytale world.

Efsun is a young woman who has had enough of everything in her life. Every night, after barely falling asleep, she takes her imaginary childhood friend Adero the clown, and searches for a happy and peaceful place in her own mind where she can escape from everything.

It is on one of these nights, she gives up on waking up and resolves to find the place she has been looking for, and she will not stop even if the sun rises. Efsun is determined, Adero is whining, the night is thinly blending into the day, but one question gnaws at everyone: Is there really such a place?

“Nothing is as terrible as uncertainty! You are tossed about in an unknown ocean!

If you stop struggling… Don’t stop struggling, you’ll drown! That’s how you get tired! Nothing is as terrible as uncertainty! No lullaby can drown out the sound of uncertainty!

I swear you’ll toss and turn in your sleep!”
