Ben Anadolu

"I am Anatolia" – a story of a woman, spanning from mythology to the Republic.

It's the story of a country. Güngör Dilmen's unforgettable text portrays nine different women through the body of a single actor.

While giving voice, it brings the historically suppressed voices of women to the center of the stage, drawing inspiration from mythology.

On this journey to the Republic, we see the breath of Kibele shaping the land, and the peace brought by Puduhepa...

The hands sealed with wax, Nilüfer Hatun's transforming body, Kara Fatma's scent of gunpowder...

In this story, the courage of Bahriye Uçok and Türkan Saylan, both symbols of enlightened resistance, converges.
