Staged at Zorlu PSM Turkcell Stage, this production is not only a biography; it also presents, through a contemporary interpretation, the struggle of a woman to exist on stage, her resistance against social pressures, and the sacrifices made for art. The story is told through the backstage of a multicultural theater company set in occupied Istanbul, offering the audience both historical and emotional depth.

This approximately 120-minute, single-act performance creates a richer stage experience than classical theater, enhanced by strong acting, live music, dance, and visual design elements.

Starring Demet Evgar, “Afife” stands out as one of Istanbul’s most remarkable stage productions for both local and international audiences.
