Bir Garip Orhan Veli

Bir Garip Orhan Veli Theatre Play 

Age Limit: 6+

Game Duration: 70 min.

A Strange Orhan Veli, staged by Reha Özcan Company, continues to meet its audience. 

Orhan Veli saw a different colour of life every day...sometimes the raging waves...sometimes the sunny rains...his home was sometimes a shelter and sometimes a dungeon...there was something strange about it...he could not see the pit in front of him because his mind was elsewhere...

In A Strange Orhan Veli, the verses of the immortal poet Orhan Veli, who conveys his joy of life, hope, passion and love for Istanbul in a perfect language, meet art lovers again with the pen of master writer Murathan Mungan, the impressive acting of Reha Özcan and the modern interpretation of director Murat Sarı and Ayşegül Hardeyn. A Strange Orhan Veli play uses a striking stage language with images blended with technology and music.
