The public program accompanying The 90s Onstage, exploring aspects of the stage and performance in Turkey’s 1990s culture scene, begins with two performances during the first week of the exhibition.

Oyun B [Play B] (2022), the most up-to-date piece of the Orientalien series, which Ceylan Öztrük has been showing since 2020, traces the connections between the body and the building while adressing the memory embodied in these structures. Embracing the body images of the “other”, particularly as an immigrant, the work seeks to establish a link between body movements and social power relations, emphasizing the otherness of the self and the surrounding structures.

The performance will be held on Thursday, September 15 at 19.00 at Salt Galata on floor 1. The program is free of charge and open to everyone.
