The &#8216;other&#8217; doesn&#8217;t need to be a person or a community; it can be a belief, a human instinct, shortly anything. As we claim, if we want a secular, fair, democratic world that respects human rights, the position of the &#8216;other&#8217; in such a world is overserious. Conflict with the &#8216;other&#8217; have to drawn into a space which is not include primitive, violent instincts. In my opinion, one of the most effective methods to achieve this goal is theatre. This is why theatre should have a greater place in our lives. I hope the 28th Istanbul Theatre Festival opens up more space for theatre in our lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As always, this year&#8217;s festival will showcase striking examples of world theatre to the audience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The press conference for the 28th Istanbul Theatre Festival, which was curated by our Head of the Drama and Acting Department, Prof. Mehmet Birkiye was held.
