Actually, that's not the case. A theater play with videos
Actually, that's not the case. The theater play Actually, that's not the case, which will be staged for the first time in SALT Beyoglu, is written and performed for the production of the video piece Kazin Ayagi (The Goose's Foot). The final piece will be a two-channel video: one will be an editing of the Istanbul performances in September 2011, while the other will reflect the process of thinking and production of the work. The screenplay is structured around a new Karagoz shadow theater script, although it draws on different performative languages. The original script was adapted to the conventions of a Karagoz play, working closely with a master puppeteer, Emin Senyer. It is inspired by histories and memories of displaced people, living in Istanbul neighbourhoods - namely Ayvansaray, Balat, Fener and Tarlabasi - going through top-down urban transformation.
