Secret Face is a modern fairy tale on identity.
A young photographer and a pretty, mysterious lady wander through different cities, along bell towers, bare trees, nightclub and camera images. On the verge of dream and reality. With Secret Face, producer/theatremaker Mesut Arslan makes an evocative adaptation of the surreal film script of Nobel Prize winner Orhan Pamuk. With the help of an inventive light choreography of scenographer Erki De Vries, a Flemish-Turkish team of actors reveals the hidden faces of the characters.
A fascinating, imaginary world full of potential stories emerges on the stage.

I would like to share the secret of clocks with people.
Then they would open their eyes.
Then they might perhaps make and tell their own stories.
I would like to talk to people about clocks
About the fragility of the mechanisms
The narrowness of the springs
The dark sides of the cog wheels
These days, no one gives a clock a moment’s thought
Maybe that’s why people are sad?
They don’t feel the life behind the small and the big hands!

I would like to share the secret of clocks with people.
Then they would open their eyes.
Then they might perhaps make and tell their own
stories.
