This production by VEDŞT (Ve Diğer Şeyler Topluluğu), a theatre group founded in 2002 by Yeşim Özsoy Gülan, offers an interesting mixture of drama and fine arts. A young couple inherits a house and wants to demolish it in order to build a new one on the site. But two old ladies who live there do not want to move out and as the play unfolds in their flat, the audience experiences the absurd arguments and weird changes that begin to affect the protagonists and their surroundings. This production was a highlight of the 14th International Istanbul Theatre Festival in May 2004.

Electronic sounds meet Alevitic folk songs. Jazzy darbuka vibes blend with traditional percussion grooves and are accompanied by powerful women voices singing in Turkish or Kurdish. Through this musical journey embarked on by Orient Expressions, the Istanbul triumvirate of DJ Yakuza, Cem Y¶ld¶z and Richard Hamer offers its audience an unusual convergence of Turkish melodies framed within the sounds of both the city and the country.
