The Lieutenant of Inishmore Staged with Black-and-White Aesthetics
Addressing the phenomenon of violence in Ireland and the IRA era with a black-and-white aesthetic, the production shows audiences that lessons have not been learned from history.
The play "The Lieutenant of Inishmore", which deals with the IRA era and the phenomenon of violence in Ireland through a black-and-white aesthetic, meets theatergoers at Baba Sahne.
Black-and-White Aesthetics and Cast
The set, costumes, makeup, and lighting were designed entirely in black and white. While this choice creates the feeling that humanity has left these issues in the past, the play demonstrates that lessons have not been learned from history.
Cast
The production's rich cast features Burak Demir, Aziz Çoban, Volkan Ateş Gündüz, Yeşim Çelebi, Çağla Acar, Metin Kurt, and Cihan Bektaş.
Plot of the Play
Set during the radical era of the IRA, the story focuses on the chaos that ensues when the hardline militant Padraic learns his cat has fallen ill, returns to the island, and finds out about its death.
Humor and Violence
While themes such as the division of organizations and love for animals are approached with humor on stage, violence, loyalty, and fanaticism are examined with bitter laughs.
Performances at Baba Sahne
The play The Lieutenant of Inishmore meets audiences at Baba Sahne on October 12 and 13, and important announcements are made at the premiere.
The Return of the Theater Stage
According to the announcement made at the premiere, the stage in Şişli, which previously hosted many groups including the Haldun Dormen Theater, is reopening in the new year.
