Yerma

"I don't like you going out alone."
"A woman's place is in the home."
I sat down.
"A woman's role is to keep her home clean."
I cleaned it.
"A woman should know when to keep her mouth shut."
Got it.
"A woman's purpose is to bear children."
I couldn't give birth.

What happens to a woman who is unable to conceive?
Who decides who is "complete" and who is "incomplete"?
"Is it actually the child that should be born first, or is it the woman herself?"

"Yerma" is not just a tragic story; it's a play that constantly engages the audience, building tension that sometimes manifests as a smile, only to abruptly shift direction, making it a captivating experience from beginning to end.

"Yerma" is a politically charged, one-woman play, a modern reinterpretation of Federico García Lorca's timeless work, written by award-winning playwright R. Onur Duru. The play is staged with an avant-garde approach by Can Ali Çalışandemir. Featuring the captivating performance of acclaimed actress Yeşim Alıç, who has received the Afife Award, this production will leave a lasting impression with her powerful acting and expressive physicality.
