Kızıl Papatyalar

"Are we ready to share, when it's our turn, the choices that we so easily judge from a distance in other people's lives?"

"Red Poppies" offers a narrative experience where the audience encounters the text for the first time on stage, witnessing the story unfold before their eyes and experiencing it moment by moment while remaining true to the text. In this performance, we enter the world of a self-centered character, leaving the outside world behind and immersing ourselves in someone else's story. This interactive encounter, which elicits laughter at times and draws the audience into the performance at others, presents a critical decision: Will we become complicit in the choices we judge? We will inherit the emotions of others from the stage and make a crucial decision.

"Red Poppies," which will only be performed 13 times, is a unique production that evolves with each performance. At the end of every show, audience feedback shapes a brand new story, making each iteration a distinct experience.
