Küheylan

Peter Shaffer's "Küheylan," inspired by a real event and crafted into a Tony-award winning masterpiece, performed 1200 times on Broadway, is now on stage directed by Barış Erdenk!
Starring Kerem Alışık, Emir Özden, Hatice Aslan, Devrim Nas, Açelya Devrim Yılhan, and Gizem Katmer, this legendary play is presented by Çolpan İlhan & Sadri Alışık Theatre and Piu Entertainment.
"Küheylan" follows the story of 17-year-old Alan Strang (Emir Özden), hospitalized for a horrific act driven by his passions, and psychiatrist Martin Dysart (Kerem Alışık) who tries to analyze and heal him.
Can an existing passion be destroyed, and can a non-existent passion be created? What is normal? Who defines normal?
Are we just individuals designed by society? How does society design us?
The play unravels an unconventional doctor-patient relationship, where Dysart and Alan's intense, harsh, and poetic journey leads Dr. Dysart to question:
"If this young man, possessing a passion Dysart never had, is cured, will Alan still be Alan? Or is someone without passion just an empty shell?" With its magnificent production and striking world, " Küheylan" offers an unforgettable viewing experience, featuring standard theater seating and on-stage seats.
