Tatbikat Sahnesi’s shocking play “Cehennem” will meet theater lovers for the first time in Istanbul at Alan Kadıköy on Tuesday, January 21st!

In a world where being virtual doesn’t mean it’s not real, in a life where you can do everything, feel, and experience, are you ready to play with the boundaries of reality? And if you forget what is right and wrong, who can truly know who you are?

Tatbikat Sahnesi’s striking production “Cehennem” traces the traces of real-world life in the virtual world, guiding the audience through dilemmas between right and wrong, identities and feelings, virtual and real, while confronting them with the reality of the approaching new world order. “Cehennem,” which portrays the gradual replacement of the real world by the virtual world through a pedophilia story, pushes the boundaries of the sense of reality.

Written by Jennifer Haley and translated into Turkish by Gülay Gür, the direction of “Cehennem” is jointly handled by Elvin and Erdal Beşikçioğlu. The cast includes Ünsal Coşar, Elvin Beşikçioğlu, Zeynep Ekin Öner, Selin Tekman, and Adem Aydil. The set design is by Barış Dinçel, and the video mapping is created by Can Akyürek.

The first performance of “Cehennem” in Istanbul will take place on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 8:30 PM at Alan Kadıköy. Tickets are available at tiyatrolar.com.tr.
