SEVGILI ARSIZ ÖLÜM DIRMIT - Dear Shameless Death Dirmit
Sevgili Arsiz Ölüm Dirmit - Dear Shameless Death Dirmit
“The unfulfilled dreams shattered the lives of the people I grew up among...
I struggled endlessly to adapt to the city. I was bruised all over.
While fighting, I drifted away from the people I grew up with.
But I resisted — to protect my language, my values, and the love those people carried into my life with irrepressible joy.
This novel is their gift to me — to this resistance.”
- Latife Tekin
About the Play
‘’We witness the struggle of a crowded family that has migrated from a village to the city, told through the eyes of the youngest daughter, Dirmit.
Confined to a single-room home, every member finds their own way to survive the city.
Dirmit, however, pushes through all obstacles with her relentless curiosity and strength to resist.
Her mother Atiye, father Huvat, and brothers try to protect her from the city and discipline her through tradition and custom — but Dirmit refuses to shrink herself. She keeps moving, transforming, insisting on claiming her own voice.
And Dirmit… does she ever stop? She does not.’’
- Hakan Emre Ünal & Nezaket Erden
