AYDINLIKEVLER - Serdar Biliş

AYDINLIKEVLER
2022

A story of resilience—a modest yet richly layered tale about living, defying the harshness of winter and the weight of absence, and standing firm against America. This is Aydınlıkevler, where my grandmother faces off against America!

“Under the direction of Serdar Biliş, this production weaves together a revolving stage and evocative animated projections, inviting the audience into the 1970s world of grandmother Zühre—a home and a life rendered with a touch of the mythical. It stands among the rare works that recount recent Turkish history with a dreamlike, almost fable-like tone. Both captivating and entertaining, it leaves its audience deeply satisfied. And, of course, the joy of experiencing Demet Akbağ live on stage after so long is nothing short of sublime.”
