The Epic of Keşanlı Ali

Theatre


Written by Haldun Taner
Music by Yalçın Tura
Directed by Bora Özkula

Try to put on a brave face and bear a heartache... This is the story of the impossible love between Keşanlı Ali, who has become a "murderer and a valiant" for a crime he hadn't committed and has been thus imprisoned, and the beauty of the ghetto, Zilha. Set at Sineklidağ, a location that commands a view of the city that lies as far as a fairytale land, this is a heroic parody with songs. An epic masterpiece by Haldun Taner, this Turkish classic will be awaiting you at Atatürk Cultural Centre.
