What Do You Say

(7+)

2 Acts. / 80 Minute


Written & Directed by Faik Ertener
Assistant Director Tunç Günbay

Faik Ertener's play "What do you say" is about the adventure of a person who is unhappy with himself and his position, trying to be someone else…
The story of a person who tries to become a Lion to be the strongest, then realizes he can not live in captivity and becomes an Eagle, but is tired of hunting and tried not to be hunted. Then he is the Sun, but when the light stops, he decides to become a Cloud, but cannot not resist the wind, and finally decides to become a Mountain... And how long can a person endure being a mountain? Or how will he realize that the most powerful asset he possesses is his own talent, willpower, and fighting tenacity?
This is a really joyful and festive play where you must find solutions to all of these questions. It will be performed in the Istanbul State Theaters for 2021-2022 season, and this time will meet its audience on stage.

You wanted to be the strongest. You sought the strong…
You didn't like yourself, you became a lion and were chained...
You asked to be an eagle, but you lost your wing...
You became the sun, you became a cloud…
You were thrown into the wind…
You became a mountain… But you could not become what you should have been…
How about you, kids? What do you believe is the most powerful thing on Earth?
