Twelfth Night (Digital Stage series)

Twelfth Night

This week’s screening of “Digital Stage” presents Twelfth Night, one of William Shakespeare’s romantic comedies. Directed and adapted by İbrahim Çiçek, one of the most daring and original directors of today’s theater stage, “Digital Stage” offers a new generation theater viewing experience by combining parts of the theater’s cult works with modern visual storytelling.

In Twelfth Night, Shakespeare humorously exposes the weaknesses of people of all genders while also delving into the theory of love and creating absurd situations that challenge social norms. This play questions societal expectations and the concept of behavior while breaking down the usual classifications of men and women.

Ceren Moray and Merve Dizdar bring their exceptional acting skills to this new production, and their performances will undoubtedly deepen the personal queries and thought-provoking themes of the play. The adaptation and scenography are bold, making for an exciting and refreshing interpretation of this classic work.

Despite the innovative approach to the performance, Ceren Moray emphasizes that the sanctity of acting will not be exhausted. Merve Dizdar is equally open and excited about the opportunity to bring this production to life on the Digital Stage!

Ultimately, the show offers an unforgettable theater experience that challenges societal norms and celebrates the timeless themes of Shakespeare’s works.
