What happens when grief spills into everything around you? A magical realism theatre comedy about loss and the unexpected ways we cope when life falls apart. Inspired by 40+ real-life stories gathered through a social media callout, Deluge blurs imagination with reality and physicality as one woman finds her inner world tipping sideways into ladders, Komodo dragons, and a thousand kilos of jam.
Deluge will be on 25 September at the Zorlu PSM %100 Studio stage as part of the 8th Istanbul Fringe Festival.
