City-Jungle
City-Forest, which appeals to spectators from all ages, will be performed in both AKM and Fulya Sanat (SSKSM). City-Forest, which the choreographer Beyran Murphy adapted from a book called Jungle Book to the stage and thus became an original work. The project, which was designed as a modern dance-drama, approaches problems of youth and environment that closely concern the masses, through a young person’s city diary with an entertaining yet thought-provoking approach
The project’s musics belong to Rahman Altın, a globally known contemporary composers of ours. The news that were conveyed to the stage through the professional journalists Mirgün Cabas and Çiğdem Anad on City-Forest TV and the songs Athena and MaNga gifted to the stage play ensure that the valuable information in Jungle Book turns into up-to-date information.
In City-Forest, which is also a social responsbility project, tries to draw attention to datas regarding education, environment, forests and endangered animals through the language of contemporary arts and popular culture and tries to raise awareness among young people. A work that was sponsored by Yapı Kredi in 2002, City-Forest has been supported until now by the NGOs Sokak Çocukları Derneği (Foundation for Homeless Children), Eğitim Gönüllüleri Vakfı (Educational Volunteers Foundation), ÇEKÜL, ÇEVKO, and Amatem.
The main character of the work which is animated through a multi-media system is Mogli, a 14-year-old child that rides the struggle bus in the city. Upon reading Jungle Book as part of a school assignment, he starts a journey in-between real life and fantasy world. He begins to reflect the animal characters in the book on the real people and events in his life. He projects the story into his life in the city.
