Düş Payı

In the pursuit of understanding the world and humanity, two different dreamers sharing the same dream.
Two prominent writers on a ferry cutting through the darkness of the night...

Two giants of Turkish literature, Sait Faik Abasıyanık and Orhan Kemal, come together in a magical night that stretches from the gardens of Marmara Clinic to the streets of Burgazada! "A Glimpse of Dreams" is a whimsical, melancholic, and festive night journey where you witness the journey of two masterful writers as they explore the blurred lines between reality and fiction, theater and cinema, and the past and present.

"I feel the fear that fills the heart of the anglerfish. The fear of death..."

While Sait Faik is undergoing treatment at the Marmara Clinic, a knock comes at the door one night. It's Orhan Kemal. He holds in his hands the script of his new film, a project he's approached with great hope after writing so many screenplays. The main characters are drawn from Orhan Kemal's people, while the supporting characters are inspired by Sait Faik's stories. All that's needed to bring this script to life is Sait's signature. But Sait Faik has a condition: they must first escape from the hospital together!

"In the twilight, on the ferry to Burgazada, Sait Bey's liver is failing, but we are on our way to Aleksandra."

As two friends embark on a journey into the Istanbul night, heading towards Burgazada, the line between reality and fiction begins to blur. Sait Faik's island meets Orhan Kemal's people. On this journey, these two great writers sometimes share the same dreams, sometimes become angry with each other, and sometimes ruthlessly criticize each other's worlds. Because their friendship is not perfect; it is real. It has its share of arguments, as well as laughter, disappointments, and moments of solidarity.

"What kind of world? A world without injustice!"

The love between Semih and Işık, both trying to escape their past lives, becomes intertwined with this strange, magical night, and is tested by courage, fear, conscience, and freedom.

"Everything begins with loving someone. But here, everything ends with loving someone."

"Share of Dreams" brings together literature and cinema, reality and fiction, and the past and present on the same stage, telling a story that goes far beyond the lives of two great writers:
People who are trying to understand each other.
Those who never give up on love.
Those who pursue freedom.
And those who dream of a better world.
Because all of these stories share the same underlying question:

"Should people change, or should the world?"

The "Tiyatro Hayali" theater company, which began its tour with the play "The Unknown Pasha," will now open the doors to a fictional encounter between Sait Faik and Orhan Kemal. "Düş Payı" welcomes its audience with playful humor, inviting them to the very heart of literature, cinema, and the dreams that humans create with hope. You are invited to witness the legacy left behind by these two great masters, the profound love for their homeland, and the warm "dreams" that belong to us all, all set against the backdrop of the clatter of typewriters.

"I'm not afraid of anyone, and this is my dark chocolate!"
