“HAPP...Y!”

“HAPP...Y!”
“Now I’m changed. Really changed!”

“Happ...y!” is the stage adaptation of a short story by a renown Turkish writer, Sevim Burak. Mainly known for her short stories, Sevim Burak’s two plays could only be staged after her death in 1981. Bilsak Theatre has performed 18 min. long“Hap…” in Maya Performance Center and the stage version of the novel “Ford Mach I, The Clown on Baghdad Street and the Woman” in the Istanbul International Theatre Festival in 2004. “Happ...y!” tells the story of people who have lost their identity in the turmoil of economical, social and cultural change in Turkey through the last few decades. It’s an absurd, tragic, funny, mad, and sad cry against decadence. The performance originally was structured as a play for two actors.
