Dünyada (on earth) comes to The Space for three performances at Voila! Theatre Festival. Mehmet Ali Nuroğlu brings a stranger’s memories of home, love and loss into an intimate, darkly funny solo show, reimagining Will Eno’s Title and Deed. First-time theatregoers are welcome.
“I’m not from here.”
A man arrives with a suitcase, a camera, and a voice that seems sad somehow.
This November, internationally acclaimed actor and director Mehmet Ali Nuroğlu brings his visceral, high-intensity solo performance Dünyada to Voila! Theatre Festival. Dünyada, meaning “on earth”, is a formally adventurous solo theatre that tears the fabric of one-person play through cinematic camera work, visual extension and sound design. Reimagining Will Eno’s celebrated monologue Title and Deed, the production offers an evocative exploration of alienation and belonging, and an exitential exploration of love and death in a digital age.
Nuroğlu walking the thin line between the mundane duties of keeping things going and the emotional disorder of remembering (like all of us). In a raw, technical struggle, he manages lighting and soundscapes in real-time, creating a parallax between his physical body and his digital ghost.
Intimate, funny, unsettling, and deeply, deeply human.
A salute to the progress in life, to being here, now, right now. On stage.
