What is the value of art in a world that’s collapsing?
In this play, a group of Istanbul theater artists struggle to regain their footing in the aftermath of the 2023 earthquake that devastated Turkey and Syria; Alternating between gallows humor and grief, Stories Will Not Mend explores the effect that violence on a mass scale has on those who witness it from a distance and the inextinguishable drive to create new worlds through art, even when that work feels futile.
Written by Will Johnson and directed by Handan Özbilgin
Featuring: Karina Curet, Roberto.R. Tolentino, Francisco Arcila, Lal Ensari, Defne Ozkan
