Nora Nûre travels to Ibsen’s place of birth

Tiyatro Boyali Kuş are telling about their experience performing Nora Nûre in Ibsen's hometown Skien, Norway.

Nora Nûre keeps slamming doors

Theatre Painted Bird’s voyage with Henrik Ibsen’s Nora, a symbol of the women’s liberation movement, is still far from over. Nora’s words have not yet been exhausted and her struggle for liberation still continues, in Turkey as well as all over the world. Which is why Theatre Painted Bird once again presents “Nora/Nûrê”, which is Ibsen’s “A Dollhouse” performed in Kurdish, in a way which challenges the boundaries between classic and contemporary, the east and the west, traditional and modern in the staging of plays.

Opening night

Welcome to the opening night of Nora Nûre! In Batman, Turkey on March 3rd 2010.

Who are Tiyatro Boyalı Kuş?

Theatre Painted Bird (Tiyatro Boyalı Kuş), a member of the Magdalena Project: International Network of Women in Contemporary Theatre and International Theatre of the Oppressed Organisation, is an Istanbul-based theatre company established in 2000.
