KUTULAR
The event is performed in Turkish. It is not suitable for audiences who do not speak Turkish.
What do you think we need the most?
To be understood…
Is that why we keep talking endlessly?
I think the best way is to stay silent.
…
Lonely souls, wounded hearts, those whose hopes are barely hanging on, and those who hold on to life despite everything… Eylül, Ali, and Nice cross paths at a house party, bringing loneliness, relationships, and the secrets we cannot openly reveal to the stage through conversations that grow deeper throughout the night.
Dozens of unopened boxes fill the space, much like the secrets we are afraid to open. These boxes that we carry with us, wherever we go and whether we want to or not, hold memories, regrets, and dreams. But when we get to know someone, do we have the courage to open their boxes, too?
At its heart, Kutular explores the modern human need to form a “real connection,” revealing the deepest secrets through Ali, Eylül, and Nice’s conversations throughout the night—sometimes with humor, sometimes with tragedy. While questioning who we choose to share our loneliness with, the play pursues the unpredictable connections we can form with the very people we believe we could “never be together” with.
Blending melancholy and humor, this intimate 70-minute exploration invites the audience to examine the anatomy of contemporary relationships.
