Deniz Göktaş

Recorded in the historic Ses Theatre in April 2023, the first and maybe the last letter to Turkey, where bittersweet encounters happen. Deniz Göktaş's special tackles between deeply personal topics and political history and the future of Turkey. Confusing meets funny, depression meets the state.

A sarcastic, erotic, and tense gaze into the private, professional and social lives of Istanbulite artists whose lives intertwine with fiction.

Deniz is a lecturer loved by his surroundings. There is electricity in Deniz's flat while there is a power outage covering the whole of Istanbul. Feeling lucky at first, Deniz starts to get lonely as the interruption continues.

In Göktaş's second attempt to get himself into trouble, he tries to make sense of his fame as a comedian. As more friends leave Turkey due to political uncertainties, his audience keeps growing. Each encounter with political figures and famous intellectuals reminds him where he truly belongs. He studied psychology to solve all his problems, but coming to terms with Turkey's history cost him more than he expected. Everything feels connected, yet there is a disconnected head you simply cannot unsee. Recorded on June 1st at the Harbiye Open Air Theater, Istanbul.

Yılmaz and İlkkan are two friends who are constantly fighting each other. Their biggest feature is always being able to do things that will turn their ordinary lives upside down. They magnify small events incredibly and give you a nervous breakdown. They are the embodiment of the misfortunes, strange events and despair we experience every day.
