Since 2012, GalataPerform has been organizing the New Text Theater Festival 12 as the festival leg of the New Text New Theater Project, which has been going on since 2006 and continues its journey as Turkey’s only playwriting-focused theater festival. Every year, a play text written in the New Text Workshops is given the Play of the Year award. This year, the play will be staged at Aksanat with the support of Free Stage and the award presentation will take place after the play reading.

About the Play
A family in the midst of dystopia…

Ecstatic, not themselves, or perhaps the reality they have been in for a long time has turned them into this… Are they alive? What is life? How do we know when we are alive? Is living a struggle? Yes and no. Would you struggle in the middle of a dystopia or would you wait? Would you run away? Time? Why do we always think “I wish I had spent more time with him/her” when we lose a loved one? Is it possible to ignore the truth and erase its presence over the years? Why?

Venue: Aksanat Sahne
Date: Saturday, December 2nd, 19.00
