The Big Plan
Set in a dystopian future, The Big Plan invites you to the gripping and funny story of a couple, one lawyer and the other journalist, who are trapped between a corrupt justice system and a corrupt media. The Big Plan is a black comedy that delves into the depths of social collapse. As our characters make plans to escape from their own lives as symbols of the collapsed justice system and corrupt media, the audience will realize a great secret underlying this order.
Our couple is trapped in a system where justice, rights and law are ignored. While the play deals with the manipulative power of the media, a society where justice is lost and the internal depressions of individuals in a humorous language, the deterioration in the couple's own sexual life actually appears as a symbol of social degeneration and the individuals' loss of connection with their true selves. Their inner emptiness is not only personal, but also shows the rottenness of the system. The characters' search for escape throughout the play eventually confronts them with the question "What is it to be human?"
The Big Plan will not only make the audience laugh, but will also invite them to think deeply about what it means to be human. Is it the world we really live in, or this artificial reality that has been imposed on us, that we need to escape from?
Saadet
Get Detailed Information
Staged with the tabletop puppetry technique, “Saadet” tells the story of a woman through different periods of her life, allowing us to witness Saadet’s journey. The magical reality of the puppets offers a perspective on her life both from within and from outside.
Behind the seemingly ordinary days of a woman lie traces of her past, unfulfilled desires, and silences. A garbage bag swept by the wind on her balcony, a dusty picture frame, cobwebs, and the never-ending static of the television… all point to the shadows of personal memory and to our collective memory that is fading into oblivion. “Saadet” invites the audience to look at themselves through the eyes of the puppets on stage and to build bridges within their own memories through familiar habits.
The play takes the audience through Saadet’s personal journey, bearing witness to her loneliness, fears, small joys, and fading traces. At the same time, this journey addresses how, in the face of social events, the individual is rendered passive by an invisible higher authority within society, how memory is eroded, and how one gradually becomes estranged from oneself.
The presence of the puppets on stage not only makes the weight of time visible but also conveys the permeability between past and present. “Saadet” reveals the individual’s confrontation with the self through the multilayered language of puppetry, while inviting the audience to search for the traces of their own memory.
One moment, the puppet is in the puppeteer’s hand—and the next, it might be you…
