Şakşakçılar

"The Cheerleaders," a play written by French author Fred Radix, directed by and starring Çağlar Çorumlu, is coming to theaters. The play, translated by Gülce Ünlü, with project consultancy by Emrah Eren, is being staged by TiyatrOPS.

The game's theme:
It was the year 1895... a time when Parisian theaters thrived, thanks to "roue," individuals whose job it was to mingle with the audience and encourage applause at the opportune moments.

Just two hours before the opening night of the musical tragedy "The Adventures of the Fish Eagle," the renowned choreographer, Auguste Levasseur, was abandoned by his entire troupe of dancers. His assistant, Dugommier, was forced to assemble a group of inexperienced dancers to prepare for the premiere of the large-scale production, which consisted of five acts and forty scene changes. With the addition of Dugommier's musically talented sister, Fauvette, the frantic rehearsals were focused on salvaging the planned choreography for that evening's performance.

The humorous situations the three people on stage find themselves in, as they desperately try to put on a grand performance for the audience, transform into a musical and comedic journey, further enhanced by the audience's participation.

"As they say, 'Impossible is not in our vocabulary.'"
