AKM - PANDEMIC

PANDEMIC

Ballet

Antalya State Opera Ballet

The libretto and choreography of this work, which is the first of its kind in the world in terms of transforming the time period from the start of the pandemic until the present day into an art form and helping it meet its audience, belong to Armağan Davran and Volkan Ersoy.

The ballet, in which theatrical narrative is predominant and whose music belong to J. S. Bach, A. Vivaldi, and T. Albinoni, features Alper Saldıran as its narrator, a much esteemed theatre and cinema actor.

Dedicated to health workers who have served as this period’s heroes, the work will be supported with digital effects and specially designed videos. It carries the signatures of Çağda Çitkaya, who assumed the decor and costume design processes of the work, and Mustafa Eski, who was responsible for its lighting design.
