Engin-Ar is the latest outcome from Ciplak Ayaklar’s collaboration with C dans C, a French group combining hip-hop with modern dance.The piece is a 3 year old dream come true thanks to the amazing collaboration that we had,thanks to the support of French Consulate and all my friends of Ciplak Ayaklar…

This blend in which eight dancers will contribute with their bodies and senses is called “a variation of love,relationship and balances in spite of taboos,obstacles,honor,religions,languages,races”..Let’s see where this variation will take them in their journey?A group of eight people…Eight different souls,eight different bodies,a relationship in folds of eight…To snap a big slice from life…To become a whole leaf…To exist in its own existence…

Written and Directed by Kerem Kurdoglu
Choreography by Candas Bas

If the fictional idea behind The Trial by Kafka occurred to a playwright living in Istanbul today, and if he/she wrote a play around that concept, what would that play be like?Writer-director Kerem Kurdoglu has re-written The Trial, in search of the answer to this very question. It is difficult to define the outcome as Kafkaesque ; on the contrary, it is a colourful tale of  falling from heights wrapped up in the shiny, glossy coat of the world of entertainment. A show where music, choreography and spectacle claim center-stage… Welcome to an entertaining Kafka musical!
