A successful politician, a former lawyer struggling with addiction from his past, and secrets that come to light in a single day… The seemingly perfect marriage of Mine and Tarık is shaken to its core as the truths they have kept hidden emerge, leading to a devastating reckoning. Through two people caught between love, loyalty, power, addiction, and conscience, Change / Transformation explores the price of the human desire to change both the world and oneself, bringing it to the stage with razor-sharp humor and dizzying character shifts.
In 2025, Thomas Ostermeier, who directed Chekhov’s The Seagull starring Cate Blanchett at London’s Barbican Theatre, now directs a theatre production in Türkiye for the first time.
