In the one-room house they are stuck in, they all find their own way in the struggle to hold on to the city. Dirmit, on the other hand, finds ways to cope with the difficulties she faces thanks to her relentless curiosity and resilience.

But Dirmit does not stop!
About the Novel
"Unrealized dreams shattered the people I was born and raised among... I struggled to keep up with the city. I was covered in bruises. As I struggled, I was separated from the people I was born and raised with. But I resisted in order to preserve my own values, my language and the love those people carried to me with an unstoppable enthusiasm. This novel is a gift to me from the people I grew up among for this resistance. "Latife Tekin
About the Process
The play is a product of the research of getting to know Dirmit from the point where the novel touches the actor and the other characters in the novel through Dirmit's narrative, and of bringing the magical realist language of the novel, which is established through the author-narrator, to the stage in the simplest form with the character-narrator.
