2022: The Power of History

The contemporary social, political and economic landscape is rapidly changing. Different narratives and variations of universal stories navigate through a moving map. What stories do we tell? Who tells them? How and why are they told?
The story of our history shapes our understanding of the past, the present and the future. History creates our identity. If the truth of the narrative lies in the hand of the beholder; what happens when the claim to the narrative shifts? History no longer repeats itself and the narratives changes. What happens when the stories we tell are subject to critical questions from different context, various reflections, perceptions and encounters?

2019: Individuality – what the fuck!

The 2019 edition of Ibsen Awards Festival investigate the complex patterns of identity constructions and re-constructions that challenges our views on history, current values and ideas of progress. The ongoing process is fueled by the justification of unrest, migration on multiple levels, religious re-orientations and ideas of believes at stake. Non-national challenges and conflicts threatens the old order. What kind of collectives do we find ourselves part of? How do we as individuals navigate in a time that re-questions key values and stir a growing fear? Who are we? How do we identify ourselves and how do others identify us?

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.
