"Yekpare"

" "Yekpare" is a storyteller wich narrates the 8500 year of Istanbul. The story embraces symbols from Pagans to Roman Empire, from Byzantine Empire to Latin Empire, and finally from Ottoman Empire to Istanbul at the present day.

Haydarpasa Train Station, with its brilliant architectural forms, is the building on wich the story is projected.

The connection between middle east to west has been provided by Istanbul and Haydarpasa since 1906. In the 50's it served as a door for millions of internal emigrants who have triggered the chaos in Istanbul's dialectical daily life scenes. The project's conceptual, political and geographical positioning, the location's depth of field and the fact that the entire show can be watched from Kadiköy coast; make "Yekpare" a dramatic presentation.

The first day of the performance also marks the 47th deathday of Nazim Hikmet Ran, the famous Turkish poet. We started out with a quote from his epic novel, "Human Landscapes from My Country": "At Haydarpasa Train Station, in the spring of 1941, it is three o'clock. Sun, exhaustion and rush lay on the stairs..." ."
