A girl growing up in the streets and apartment courtyards of a big city, at a time when concrete had not yet pierced the sky. Handan is the only daughter of a beautiful homemaker mother and a strict lawyer father.
She grows up through times when both the streets and the home she shares with her parents feel equally unsettled, eventually finding her own path as a young woman.
Her mind and heart are filled with voices: a distant melody, birds, the sound of train tracks, the rustling of a joyful gift being unwrapped, the voices of her mother, father, grandmother, and aunt… and then, sudden “crack” sounds echoing across different times and different houses.
When we meet Handan as an adult woman, she has already drifted into a story stretching from her childhood to the present. The story of Handan and her mother Feri, who emerges from her memory, unfolds across a narrative spanning from the 1960s to today.
Written by Murat Mahmutyazıcıoğlu, this multi-layered one-woman play brings together many intersecting lives. Directed by Hira Tekindor and performed by Zerrin Tekindor, it meets the audience as a powerful theatrical experience.
