The Epic of Keşanlı Ali
- Adult Theater
Written by Haldun Taner
Music by Yalçın Tura
Directed by Bora Özkula
The hardships of remaining as straight as a die and the heartaches of being in love. The impossible love between Keşanlı Ali, who was accused of a murder he didn’t commit and has been thus imprisoned, and the beauty of the ghetto, Zilha. Set at Sineklidağ, a location that commands a view of the city that lies as far as a fairytale land, this is a heroic parody with songs. An epic masterpiece by Haldun Taner, this Turkish classic will be awaiting you at Atatürk Cultural Centre.
