Protect Me From Punches

Ceren Ercan

Theater Tiyatro
For people 13 years and older
The production deals with the phenomenon of the so-called "Cancel Culture" (ostracize this work), which has emerged in recent years as a result of the new media, and puts up for discussion, not without humor, the promise of the new media for justice and change. Two people from different generations meet in an open dialogue and begin to reflect on the limits of humor through the recounting of personal experiences. While the culture of lynching lives on in social media, the play written by Ceren Ercan and directed by Yelda Baskın describes the image of a pub where a question addressed to the whole country emerges: What is freedom and for whom does it exist?

In Turkish with German surtitles.

Sponsored by the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.
