Nerkiz Sahin

KANSENSPEL/IN DE SCHADUW VAN MEZELF A woman fighting against the labels people put on her. A cultural battle on two fronts, constantly fighting against and fighting for acceptance. A vicious cycle – determined by others’ view of her being a woman. Her destiny squashed into a pigeonhole.

Nerkiz Sahin (writer), together with Ülkü Dursun (psychologist), addresses the issues faced by women who live or grow up in a country with a different cultural frame of reference. Through theater, they want to make stories discussable that barely see the light of day. Many women share a similar struggle for equal rights. Culturally, familially or socially, everything is imposed on them, something is always expected of them. Any one of us could be at that same point in life Judging others is sometimes too easy.
