Theatre


Playwright: William Shakespeare
Director: Muharrem Özcan

Haluk Bilginer, who has an intense Shakespeare workload both as an actor and a translator, now portrays himself as King Lear, the hero who "drew the tragedy with his own hands" in the world of Shakespeare. The play, which is a multi-layered classic that circles around the themes of sharing of power and property, will be directed by Muharrem Özcan. This tragedy, which revolves between King Lear, his daughters and other centres of power in the country, will be interpreted with a focus on the grotesque effects at the core of the play. King Lear, the last play of the season, will be at AKM Theatre Hall on June 11, 2022, as part of the Beyoğlu Culture Road Festival!
