Studio Oyuncuları are well known to have rewritten and performed “Where is Oedipus?” (which is based on the tragedy “Oidipus Rex” by Sophocles) in Delphi (2002) to participate in the Meeting of Theatres of Antiquity within the context of the Athens Olympic Games 2000 -2004. Şahika Tekand comes up with “Oedipus in Exile” this year, having been inspired by yet another Sophocles tragedy, “Oedipus at Kolonos.” After the play comes to the Istanbul Theater Festival stage, it will go to Greece and be performed at the Ancient Stadium in Delphi within the framework of “the 2500th Anniversary of Sophocles.” “Oedipus in Exile,” co-produced by the European Culture Center of Delphi and İstanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts, can be resembled to court proceedings in pursuit of unveiling the much suspected truth about Oedipus.

Stüdyo Oyuncuları would like to thank ALFAR, Asiye Birben Üçyıldız and Gülçin Çavber for their contribution.
