A co-production of Istanbul Theatre Festival.

A house at the centre of Istanbul and along the lines of our present time; a middle-class family living in this house... The urban transformation in the city gains momentum and dooms its memory to nonlocality. Times when the past starts all over again and the future has already gone by.... The characters are busy with their everyday problems and just like it was in Chekhov’s ground-breaking Cherry Orchard, they are not capable of understanding that change is nigh, fast and without any rule. What always happened before in the suburbs and which they remained indifferent to, because they weren’t familiar with it, now knocks on their doors and forces them to leave their homes and roots.
