REVIEW: Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi Presents AYAK BACAK FABRiKASI
by Wesley Doucette - December 22, 2025
There is a presumption that advocacy theatre is aesthetically disinterested. I won’t deny recognizing its reflexes, polemical, sanctimonious, self-satisfied, but these reflexes are just that, reflexes.

REVIEW: Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi Presents Kâtip Bartleby
by Wesley Doucette - December 22, 2025
The three previous productions I attended at Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi achieved what felt like a contradiction in terms: blackbox maximalism. Imagine my surprise, then, when I entered their space for Kâtip Bartleby, an adaptation of Herman Melville’s Bartleby the Scrivener, and found a concentrated, stripped-down staging.

REVIEW: Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi Presents SALOZ'UN MAVALI
by Wesley Doucette - November 24, 2025
Make Portugal Great Again! In their production of Saloz’un Mavalı, adapted for Turkish stages by Can Yücel, Cihangir Atölye Sahnesi stages the clash between an imagined glorious past and a bleak, oppressive present. First performed in English as The Song of the Lusitanian Bogey in 1965, the play has, unfortunately, lost none of its relevance. Originally a two-act work, the CAS production condenses the material into just under an hour, but the ensemble fills that hour with a tightly woven collage of images, rhythms, and political critique.

The Istanbul Tiyatro Festivali Presents ISTANBUL MON AMOUR: PERA’NIN KARANLIK ODASI By Kumbaracı50

Few neighborhoods possess the historical layering of Istanbul’s Beyoğlu. It has existed as a heterotopic space within the Eastern Roman Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Turkish Republic. Cosmopolitan by nature, it has long been home to Italians, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, and Turks.
