Theatre is a big ocean and theatre groups are ships and boats in the sea. There are those big ships you can't see at once. There are those ships chased by the seagulls. There are also little fishing boats that are trying to make the day. They stand between the waves of the big ships. They don't roll over the waves, they don't run away from the wind, they watch the marks of the seagulls in the air... we are unfurling from Galata to İstanbul. Good luck to all!
