I am a performance-maker, theatre director, and interdisciplinary collaborator who works between Berlin and Istanbul, inhabiting two cultures not as a visitor but as a stranger in Temelkuran's sense; belonging to both, fully at home in neither. My work moves from personal material through rigorous research into live performance, creating temporary communities that exist only for the duration of a piece. I devise frameworks where the stage and audience share the same plane, where strangers become co-authors, and where the boundary between participant and witness dissolves. Crossing roles fluidly, theatre directing, writing, dramaturgy, teaching, I speak the artistic language of every collaborator in the room. What drives my work is not representation but proposition: performance as a space where new ways of being together can be rehearsed and where that act of rehearsal changes something real.
