“MR. MUHSIN IN THE WORLD FOR THREE DAYS”

FLANÖR KUKLA

The character Muhsin, who is a body puppet, comes to life in his chair and starts his performance. Light music in the background and the contents of the bag he carries with him accompanies him during the performance. All her trouble is to find someone who will keep the flower on her collar alive. Muhsin, who cannot keep up with the New World, always misses the old, and this flower expresses his own truths, traditions and customs. Towards the end of the time, he sits back in his chair and becomes lifeless.

Karagöz invents a time machine. The aim of Karagöz, who will make his first journey in the early hours of the morning, is to go to the year 2100. Neither Hacivat nor his son Oktay believe in this project of Karagöz. However, Karagöz starts the machine one morning and begins his time travel. He suddenly finds himself in the year 2100. Karagöz thinks this is a different planet. Because the world has changed a lot. Everywhere looks like a desert. Encountering with people living in underground well cities, Karagöz learns people are the reason the world has become like this, and goes back to when he came to fix this situation.

Hacivat and Karagöz appear as two historical and ancient figures that we can clearly perceive the difference between type and character, and also provide us with literary opportunities as a dramatic element. While focusing on the production of type and characters in the dramatic writing workshop by questioning this contrast relationship we see from Hollywood cinema to classical period, modern period plays, from Yeşilçam to Korean cinema and TV shows, on the one hand, he will try to understand Hacivat and Karagöz, who have appeared throughout history, and on the other hand, he will try to understand the new ones. We will witness the production of our Karagöz and Hacivats.

The Great Red Wall has always been there. But little mouse’s friends did not know why that wall was there. Nor did they know what was beyond the wall. All they knew was that they were terrified of the wall. Will she find the courage to explore the unknown? Will he be able to take that first step into the world where freedom and possibilities await him? But little mouse was curious. The first time he asked a question, ‘Why is this wall here?’ he did something his friends had never done before. He asked a question and the Red Wall disappeared. In fact, the Red Wall, which never existed, no longer existed.
