"Love is sacred , deceit is evil, loneliness is painful, I am a Turk, I am right, I am hardworking, I will marry and be the woman of my house”, are these my own words?


What is love, what is deceit, what is loneliness et cetera?

What parts of a story is real, what parts are fiction? Could a woman turn into a theatrical hero? If so, what parts are her own?In love, in deceit, in loneliness, in et cetera, everyone tells her own story. Everyone’s story is real for her own. The reality is the fiction its very self!

For life, all of us is et cetera...


This play is a story of an examination and search, experienced by any woman, in any place and any time. The concepts of “construction” and “fiction” are questioned within a feminist perspective, by looking at the small sections of life from the two sides of a mirror and it tries to express the concern of re-perceiving of life and of holding the ties of the life.

In the second play of Theatre Painted Bird, love deceit loneliness et cetera, again the invisibility of women’s experiences, the gender roles that imprisoned them within the relationship and especially their captivation in private sphere and in primary relationships are criticized.

The play is ending with the meaningless words expressed through the interview parts by giving the messages that these are the forced cues of the life and because of this reason they do not have a meaningful reality.
