Written and directed by Aksel Bonfil, produced by Kadar and Begüm Ertuğrul, Muskat has begun its run with Esra Dermancıoğlu in the lead role.

The play, which premiered last week, left audiences in awe. Muskat presents the inner journey of Yaşar (played by Esra Dermancıoğlu), who dives into the depths of her mind following the death of her mother, whom she had cared for for years. It offers an unforgettable 60-minute experience.

Presented with no set, Muskat relies on lighting and sound to enhance Dermancıoğlu’s performance, giving the story a new dimension. As Yaşar, who no longer knows what to do with her life, wanders through the streets of Paris in her mind, Istanbul’s shadow continually brings her back to reality.
